Created attachment 818457 [details] code: MainTabVirtualMachineView.java
from looking at the code in MainTabVirtualMachineView.java, it seems to be this way by design (see attachment 818457 [details]). @Michal - do you recall the reason for that?
just not to clutter the menu bar, since the name is a bit long. The options are reachable via user portal easily so we thought it's better to sacrifice this in favor of screen estate
In terms of relative importance I would think console options might be higher than others already displayed there. Consider using an icon.
I agree with Paul on the importance. But this particular issue depends on adding an infrastructure to support a large amount of buttons in the action-panel, which is tracked via Bug 818051 (marking this BZ as depends on Bug 818051);
(In reply to Paul Vine from comment #4) > In terms of relative importance I would think console options might be > higher than others already displayed there. Consider using an icon. icon's a good idea, however normally you should not be actually using the dialog any often, even as an admin
Malini, what's your opinion about the icon/button? IMHO it's additional options and should not belong to an actions menu
After talking with Eldan decided to add a dropdown menu to the monitor toolbar icon with the console options.
