Inconsistent behaviour of menus

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Richard,

You leave out the section title in the v2.5.1 "Engine Changes" doc  
where I read: Bugs fixed in this release ;-)
Which just shows that some fixed bugs can generate new bugs, more,  
more annoying...

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
