This is a bug in ext_menu.h. We will fix it, thanks for the report

This happens because we have diverged from the (broken) behaviour described in DM3 and currently implemented in the standard library, where item_width should be set to half the width of the item name. In November 2020 we changed this in ext_menu.h so the programmer should set the full item width instead. The test file used the standard library behaviour.

We have now added an option to ext_menu - define the constant EXT_MENU_STDLIB_MOD to make it behave like the standard library. This may come in handy when writing a game that should be compilable with either PunyInform or the standard library.
