I second these opinions. Macro menu is tiny, smaller than less used  
language and tab size choosers.

And if that wasn't enough I additionally have to maneuver through submenus  
- when TM's window is very near bottom of screen (I have dock on side)  
current language's submenu isn't under cursor and sometimes it's not even  
immediately visible!

IMHO it should be much larger, and maybe there should be two buttons - one  
with macros for current context/language *only* and another with all the  
submenus.
