Mysterious Bug that puts menu groups into stacks

[Thomas McGrath III]

David,

That's okay. I mean I wanted to get some other opinions on the issue.  
I don't know if the name is important or not. That is why I started a  
new thread. If others have seen it or anything like it than I would  
like to see it entered into Bugzilla as a true bug or else it would  
have to be thrown into a user contributable error.

It's no big deal, but true Bugs need to be detailed and reported with  
reproducible results in order to get fixed. I searched Bugzilla and  
could not find a bug like this so I decided to ask the others here on  
the list.

Yours,

Tom
