Help: Odd menu behavior under LC6.7.11 on OSX

[Roger Eller]

6.7.5 is my poison of choice.  8.x gives an error when it opens.  Bug was
reported several times, but it's still there, even in the latest.  Also, my
Windows applications are tightly spaced in the UI department, and 8.x text
spacing goes crazy. It would take a lot of time to go through everything
and adjust the text spacing.
