Popup problem under Windows

[Mark Schonewille]

Hello Francis,

Why don't you use a mouseDown handler instead of a mouseUp handler?  
Is the actual popup menu visible? What happens if you try to recreate  
it by duplicating one of the correctly working buttons and adjusting  
that?

I have lots to do this weekend, but you can send me your stack if you  
like. Also, the guys (and sometimes gals) at ChatRev are really good  
at solving this kind of problems. Why don't you pop up in the chat  
for a change? Clients are available in RevOnline, at http://economy-x- 
talk.com/chatrev.html and http://chatrev.bjoernke.com.

Best,

Mark
