Following up this question (with solution):
Is it possible to increase or change the number of items shown in the Grub 2 top menu? Mine has the top 6 items shown by default, with no indication that there is another entry lurking at the bottom, so I would like to change it so that I can see all 7 items. I have checked the Grub manual but I can’t see any settings for the number of items.
Thank you for any suggestions
You could try editing the theme? I think it controls the boot menu’s size.

Thank you so much, and this is correct. Just in case someone arrives here with the same question, I edited /boot/grub2/themes/openSUSE/theme.txt and changed the top margin of the boot menu to 30% and the height to 40%. The boot menu now shows all 7 menu entries.
It’s also possible to add a scrollbar - why isn’t this in the default theme…?! I used this manual.
I have a feeling that the openSUSE theme directory may get overwritten from time to time in which case it’s probably better to put the theme file in a different directory, but I’ll wait and see…
