Following the tutorial in tha manual doesn't work. As it turns out, you have to
use the keyboard equivalent or somesuch rather than the mouse buttons. I didn't
pay much attention. I can't be bothered learning the quirks of a buggy third
generation product.

I am referring to when the 'Project' menu does not show up at all when
selected. It is there, since I can move the mouse down and various subitems pop
up where they would be when it's working right.  It does not always do this,
but when it does, it's irritating (to put it kindly).
