Thanks for testing.  I made a Yank submenu as you suggest, which
makes the menu height more reasonable.

Should be fixed in the next version of the change.
(`isearch-mouse-leave-buffer' needed to allow command
`mouse-minor-mode-menu'.)

Yes.  This may be `with-isearch-suspended's doing (as used in
`isearch-tmm-menubar'): it pushes a new state of Isearch after running
its arg BODY, so we will have to compensate for that somehow.

> Why this change was necessary?

It's no longer necessary and will be gone from the next version of the
change.  It was necessary because clicking the Isearch mode-line
indicator was actually quitting Isearch.  Fixed by the above change to
`isearch-mouse-leave-buffer'.

The menu- and tool-bars are not always updated after typing a
character during Isearch, so some of the items in those keymaps may be
wrongly displayed if we do not always force their recalculation.
