his patches tend to work, but his bug description there is overly terse, and people who haven't played FF6j won't know what he's talking about.
1) if and only if you're missing three consecutive spells, the game will skip an entire row of menu output, so as to shorten the menu without changing the column of any given spell. (thus keeping it easy to find for players scanning down the list.)
2) the condensing is done on a "union" list based off of the spells known by anybody in your active party. so if Mog knows a boatload of spells, and Shadow traveling with him knows very few, the latter's list won't change much.
#1 is pretty desirable for players (once the patch changes it to two-at-a-time on FF3us, anyway). i dunno how you'd change #2, short of finding a lot of free RAM to hold the separate lists, and reordering/rewriting a lot of code.
