Martin!

"messages" doesn't capture anything related to the menus as far as I can 
see. Attached screenshot is after shifting between buffers several times 
and invoking menus with F10. And different buffers have opened with 
corrupted menu items and the black bars which at every occasion is 
corrected with F10. Apparently F10 does something different to the menus 
than the mouse.

regards

Anders
