This is likely not a bug given that AHK menus are system-drawn, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's fixable: when +Break or +BarBreak is used to break up a menu into multiple columns, item names and their corresponding icons are "scrunched" together much closer than they would be otherwise. Compare the following two pop-up menus, one with and one without a column break.

Hi!
Probably won't give you exactly the answer you are looking for, but when I experimented and did this: instead of this I've got a big 32x32 icon and a thick, wide menu line. Probably not what you are after since you have way too many items in the menu for this to be comfortable, but...

(more info here: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Menu.htm#MenuIcon)

EDIT:
BTW since you can set the size of the icon you require instead of the zero that I've used, maybe you could have 24x24 icon, use it and have a decent menu line height even in mutiple-column menus.

Win32 menus are usually rendered by uxtheme.dll, but not if they use +Break or +BarBreak.

If you use an owner-draw menu, you can control the sizing.
