Hi,

I did install SP1 today. I'm using a programatically created menu.
The problem occurs in .exe as well as in development environment (not with
system menu).

The additional blank menu items occur in the main menu by selecting
text in an ordinary text box with the keyboard Shift-key. There
is no problem using the mouse.

To reproduce this behaviour I use a new form with a textbox (original classes),
enter some text, select the text with Shift and arrow keys. After
that moving the mouse to the main menu at the right hand side I got
two new empty menu items. Doing this again leads to additional 2 items
and so on.

The problem seems to be the use of a system menu item in my own menu:
_mwi_hide (Hide Window).


The reproduce this behaviour the following menu code can be used:

SET SYSMENU TO
SET SYSMENU AUTOMATIC

DEFINE PAD "M88" OF _MSYSMENU PROMPT "Window" COLOR SCHEME 3
ON PAD "M88" OF _MSYSMENU ACTIVATE POPUP "_MWINDOW"
DEFINE POPUP "_MWINDOW" MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4
DEFINE BAR _mwi_hide OF _MWINDOW PROMPT "Hide"
