May be ;-)
I am talking about an ENABLED menu item which has a submenu.
In this submenu, the first submenu item is disabled and all followings 
submenu items are enabled:
But you cant catch any one of these enabled submenu items on Win32 
because the whole menu just vanishes when the mouse is flying over the 
first disabled submenu item:

enabled menu item 1
enabled menu item 2
	DISABLED submenu item 21
	enabled submenu item 22
	enabled submenu item 23
enabled menu item 3
etc.

With Rev Win32, you are not able to select submenu item 22 or 23 :-(
On Mac OS X, no problem :-)
Any idea?
