Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):
Hello @iamabdurrehman, congratulations on your second ticket here. This is
a problem we’ve discussed at length several times, but have yet to take
any action on. Here’s my brain dumb on the subject:
* The number of users who actually run into this problem is very very
small, but for those users it’s extremely problematic
* Creating that menu is still costly, requiring a blog-switch to each site
to get the site name for the menu label
* The Flow Team (specifically @ryan) has researched this deeply for
WordPress.com (and Jetpack) so we have that to lean on
* To address this, we should not try to improve the existing
implementation, but rather design a new feature to help with the act of
large-network navigation
* At one point, @azaozz did design a scrollable menu, and even one with a
search bar, but these were all scrapped due to browser render issues,
mobile issues, and a lack of a proper multi-blog search functionality in
core
* No plugins currently adequately address this that I am aware of, though
some kind of mega-menu that uses site icons might be neat if site icons
were more popularly used
Because this is a menu, it’s something we can work on privately in a
plugin if we’d like to, and then merge into core if it’s deemed worthy,
good & popular enough.
