Magnificent!  Easy to trigger here by continuously narrowing the frame
until a menubar item disappears.  And starting dired from a fairly
narrow frame with the menubar fully visible resizes the frame so that
all menubar items are visible.  Thanks for finding the cause of this.

And obviously this is Bug#15700 ;-)

I don't think we can/should do anything about this.  But at least we
have to document it somewhere.  Any ideas?
