What about the bug in MenuBuilder on 2.0.1?

Francios,
 From the "What's New.txt" file included with the Revolution 
distribution:

ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS VERSION

--- Compatibility issues ---

- OS X applications now automatically delete the last two lines in the 
first menu of a stack's menu bar. This is to prevent duplication of the 
"Quit application" menu item in the OS X Application menu. (Normally, 
the first menu is the File menu, and the last two menu items are a 
separator line and "Quit".) This lets you use the same menu bar for all 
platforms without breaking user-interface guidelines for OS X, which 
call for the "Quit" menu item to be in the Applications menu and not 
the File menu.

This is the complete explanation for what you are seeing. If you have 
removed the separator and the Quit from your first menu, the last two 
items remaining will still be removed. leave the separator and the Quit 
there and everything will be fine. If you have to put another menu in 
that place, just add 2 dummy menu items at the end to get around this 
feature.

Cheers,
Sarah
