Summary: Bug in PopUpMenus ??



Thanks to infos from Larry Rosenstein, I have managed to make PopUp
menus work. On the way, I think I have found a bug in this new menu
manager. The problem is with hierarchical popup menus. I guess Apple will
strongly discourage the use of submenus in popup menus, but it does work,
except a minor redraw bug. This is easy to reproduce:
 - Open the popup menu.
 - Open the submenu.
 - Move into the submenu.
 - Move back to the submenu title (ie in the first menu) WITHOUT
passing over any other item.
 - When you do this, the submenu title is unhighlighted.

This does not happen in "regular" hierarchical menus. I guess it is related
to the fact that popup menus are not supposed to have a title.
