Any new ToolStrip options coming soon?

[Franky]

I saw the following on the Internet and wonder if you have any inside
info about future improvements to the ToolStrip family that can be shared ?

Is it possible to have the same items in two different MenuStrip
controls, for example the main menu and a context menu?

With the entire ToolStrip family of controls we do not have an
integrated commanding architecture nor do we support cloning of items to
appear in multiple places. We do support reusing the same ToolStripDropDown
or ContextMenuStrip in multiple places (non-nested). We understand this may
require more state management and maintenance code and are looking at ways
to improve this in the future.


Thanks

Hi Franky,

I'd like to see ToolStrips that worked intuitively when repositioned by the user via drag and drop.
The current implementation seems to drive users absolutely crazy, with stationary strips being moved
into inappropriate places at times while another is being dragged, and when finally dropped, the
entire container seems to randomize the position of its strips sometimes. In many cases it appears
to be impossible to move a strip into a particular location simply by dragging it when everything
around it is automatically rearranged in an unintuitive manner.

Am I the only one witnessing this peculiar behavior?
