It's not a bug, it's the way the Macintosh menu manager works. Certain
symbols tell the Mac to display a menu item a certain way. A right
parentheses tells the menu manager to disable the menu item.

You can either use square brackets to get around the problem, or you can
double the symbol to tell Revolution to use the parentheses anyway:
"))". The same applies to slashes in menus; double them: "//". Some
other symbols need the same thing as well.
