It will be good if context menu shown in screenshot will have scroll, when many windows are open.

I fail to see how you could end up with such an absurd situation. Sorry, but I don't think it's worth spending developers' time on it.
Comment 3 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-05-09 20:49:40 UTC 
It could happen for small screens. I think it's worth it.

It's your time, not mine. ;-)

But even on a smartphone screen, it seems to me that enough items would be shown. You won't start 10 Nautilus windows on small devices.

Comment 7 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:15:44 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
