Description
Observed behavior
After interacting for some time with the new Options menu I have noticed that I am spending considerable amount of time scrolling up and down and getting confused by the position of the menu items.
I am also observing a double scroll-bar in a normal 15.6 inch laptop.
Expected behavior
- Consider removing some options
- Consider reducing the space between the menu items
- Consider reorganizing the menu items in logical groups and adding an icon in front of each menu item to help visually identifying the desired item
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Go to https://unstable.studio.learningequality.org/en/accounts/#/ and sign in
- Open a channel with folders and all of the supported resources
- Click the Options menu for an item

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Options menu at the unstable URL with a channel containing folders and supported resources, then review the context from pull request #4635. The work is done when the menu no longer causes excessive scrolling or confusion, with an agreed approach to its options, spacing, grouping, and visual identification.
