When using nested item lists in the menu tree, the parent items are not covered and it makes it harder to determine the currently selected item options.

How can I fill the space below the current menu options, hiding the parent list?

Parent List:

Parent selected with child list showing (and what I don't want):

I would prefer to have the pane filled to the bottom of the screen just like the parent items list does. How can this be accomplished?
