  -> Well, but it is important to find out if there is already an agreement on the term, otherwise we would be reinventing terms all the time.
disagree  Ramón Solá: Because and don't see it "unfolding" but "coming down", that's why.

menú persiana


Explanation:
Sólo como curiosidad, antes del advento y diseminación de la terminología globalizante de Microsoft un menú de ese tipo solía llamarse "persiana".
La misma confusión va a difundirse mientras Microsoft no publica su glosário para la versión para Windows XRP.
Ahora hay que diferenciar entre "menú desplegable "drop-down" y menú emergente "pop-up".
