I know others have had this problem - but when a menu list gets too long (and apparently when you have the option set to display anywhere on the page rather than just at the top) it goes off the bottom of the page.

There is no way to scroll down. So those items become inaccessible.

There should either be a scroll or perhaps even better a way to have the menu double its width to have two columns when this happens.

Not sure how to do it - but its a wish anyway.

Yeah, here are the problems with this issue. Normally, the Drupal Administration Menu CSS has the property positition:absolute, this allows the menu to be scrolled with the page. However, when it is set to position:fixed, as it is for Administration Menu Dropdown, it is fixed to the top of the browser window and thus impossible to scroll. So its and either/or issue: either you have the Admin Menu Dropdown fixed to the top of the window so it can be seen anywhere on a page, or you have position at the top where it can be scrolled.

By design, Admin Menu Dropdown fixes itself to the top of the window so it can be accessed anywhere on the page so this is unavoidable. The other option, double width menus isn't a bad idea but I have no real idea to implement this and it might require editing the Drupal Administration Menu module. I'm not sure because I have not inspected much of Drupal Administration Menu's code. The best fix I've provided so far is temporarily disabling Administration Menu Dropdown's functionality by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift (on version 1.2). This will place the menu back at the top of the browser page where it can be scrolled along with the page.
