problems with popup menus under OS 9?

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks, Jacque.  I'm glad to know it's not just me. :-)

I haven't noticed the problem in other apps, but I'm not an avid OS 9 user,
so really about the only think I use under OS 9 is Revolution and my app.
It does happen while running my stacks in the Rev IDE, though.  I can test
other apps if you have anything specific in mind.

Haven't tried it with extensions off, but I will do so and let you know.

Thanks again,
Chris

This sounds exactly like a problem I'm trying to solve on our OS 9.2.2 
Mac, only its the Finder that freezes. Same exact behavior -- a freeze 
immediately after a menu item is chosen. I've identified it as an 
extension conflict, only I don't know which extension yet.

Do you get the behavior only in your app? Or does it happen in other 
apps too? Does it happen if you reboot with extensions off?
