On Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, after enabling display scaling, the right-click context menu becomes disproportionately large and difficult to use. I would like the system to provide user-configurable settings that allow customizing the order of menu items and the row height of the context menu.
On UbuntuMATE, there is a “Main Menu” tool available under Preferences. That permits the full edit of the menu.
Specific to the context menu, I have never attempted to change that, so I can’t offer any guidance, but if a tool exists that is where I think you will find it. It may have a “tweak” as part of the name.

Can you make a screenshot for illustration?
I have never seen anything like that for the context menu. If there is an issue with the scaling you should report a bug, so it can be fixed.
Sorry, I’m not a magician so you should provide some more information:
What desktop? GNOME?
What GPU? Intel? Nvidia?
What resolution does your monitor have?
What scale factor do you use?

That’s pretty much a matter of taste. As your screenshot shows, line height and font size match regular windows. When you enable scaling, everything gets scaled.

I hope to have a useful mouse right-click menu, not one that is always difficult to use and unwilling to optimize like window11. The mouse right-click menu is a feature and operating habit that users who have switched from Windows to Linux care about very much. Changing habits is difficult.
Funny…
This thread at Microsoft reads as the context menu should scale accordingly and it’s a bug when it doesn’t.
