Dock Menu Limits?

I've noticed that my Applications folder only lists a certain number of files when I control click it from the dock. Like it'll stop at the "O's" in the listings.

I know I have a lot of Apps, but I don't see why this can't be fixed. I don't want to have to open up the entire folder in finder just to launch an App, I want to be able to scroll right to the one I need. Very annoying.

workaround

Instead of dropping the Applications folder straight on the Dock try making a folder full of aliases instead. Or better yet, a folder full of subfolders by category, each with an assortment of aliases. See the attached picture for a fine example....

Arrrrrgh! How hard is it for Apple to make the arrows on Dock menus point to the right if the Dock is on the left? It's NOT THAT DIFFICULT! I keep mine on the right, but I really wish that they would just allow flipping to make it easier.

Get FruitMenu - I use to quickly access files, folders, and apps on local and networked drives. Really nice.
