[comp.sys.mac] IIci vs. Application Menu and Da Menuz

korfhage@lanai.cs.ucla.edu (12/20/89)

In the continuing saga of what breaks on IIci's, I have noticed minor problems
with Application Menu and DA Menuz (formerly hierDA).

Application Menu 3.4 works, but stray icons appear in the menu, and they
change depending upon what application was used last.

DA Menuz also works, except that on the control panel submenu, I can select only
the first nine items. If I pick the, say, third item in the control panel, I
go to it. If I pick the, say, 12th item, then I end up at the general panel,
as if I hadn't picked anything at all. In my system, the general panel happens
to be the tenth item in the menu, so I don't know if the bug is "not picking
anything beyond the 9th or 10th" or "not picking anything beyond General"

Also, in another post some weeks ago I complained about events not reaching
applications. The culprit turned out to be Red Ryder, and now that we have
White Knight eveything is fine.

This sounds like a bug in ApplicationMenu that's been fixed.  I think that 
version had a problem with holding onto a pointer into a handle 
incorrectly.  You can try version 3.5, which is available by FTP from 
Apple.COM (in the /pub/dts/mac/hacks directory).  Let me know if that
solves the problem.
