Subject: Re: [Aquamacs-devel] Where are the menu sub-items in Aquamacs version 2.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Further to this:

When building the master branch [based Aquamacs] on 10.5, it will run  
without menu problems on 10.6.
The application menu is present and all menus are visible.

When run on 10.5.8, submenus are missing.

Inspecting this with the Accessibility Inspector, I see that  
AXChildren of the submenu is size 11 for the applications menu,  but 1  
for the File / Edit etc. menus.
