build id: 1999051408 platform: windows nt this problem happens sporadically. i am not certain of a sure-fire method to reproduce it. from time to time, it is possible to have the mouse cursor over a menu item (say, bookmarks: macintosh resources: macintouch) and the item will not be highlighted - that is, it is the same color as all of the other menu items. this seems to happen one menu at a time - that is, if you select bookmarks | macintosh resources and then pass the mouse up and down the list, nothing will be highlighted.

this sounds like a menu widget bug; what do you think Mike?

Per a request from Selection and Search component eng (mjudge) and qa (elig), moving all "Selection and Search" bugs to new "Selection" component. Original "Selection and Search" component will be retired.

[Reassigning to XP Toolkit/Widgets, as this is a _menu_ selection bug.]

[Reassigning to saari. For the record, I haven't ever seen this. cpratt, have you seen this in any recent builds?]

I see this on a daily basis on both NT and Windows 98; it's irksome.

Still happening on 19990701xx M8 builds, and still troublesome. cc'ing macquiddy, who's also having trouble with this.

Changing platforms to all (it's also being seen on Mac OS).

actually, this bug looks like a dup of 5927 (which has a fairly detailed description of how to reproduce it). The most recent problem I'm seeing is a Mac-specific problem with menus that requires a re-start to re-enable 'dead' menus. I will open a new bug when I figure out how/if to reproduce. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5927 ***

Kudos to paulmac for finding that other bug. I think he's right. Marking verified.
