MenuItems not showing

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Joe,

Is it possible that those menu items are using reserved characters which need to be escaped?
See section 7.13.4 of the LiveCode User Guide (page  255 in the PDF file that accompanies LC 5.5.3).

Hi Again,

Thanks to Joe Wilkins, Craig Newman & Kay Lang. The stack I'm using is for my 
use only, so even though I put a lot of menuitems in a single button it's not 
really a problem. Having said that, you are probably right in that I should 
simplify it. Up until now I've resisted dedicating a menubar to an individual 
card. I know that's ridiculous, but I've been lazy.

Yes, all the menuitems in other buttons work just fine. If I ask for the name of 
the malfunctioning menuitem it gives me it correctly. It's just shown as a blank 
line and it doesn't work. I suspect the particular menu button has become 
compromised. Probably if I duplicated that button from scratch it would work. 
However, I'm going to take your advice and create a dedicated menubar for this 
card. I'm hoping that will solve my problem. Like you said if nothing else it 
will be less cumbersome.

Thanks again!

Joe Hamburger
