Dear netlanders,

every once in an while I had the problem that a window wouldn't
respond the first time I clicked eg. the closer. I figured it was
a rare bug burried in GEM.

But now I always have this problem with a program that I wrote myself.
I found out that this only happens when I turn off the menu (using
menu_bar(...,1)) while the user can work with he window. Turning
the menu off an d on isn't the usual thing to do, but as far as I know
there is nothing in the developers docs that says that I'm not allowed
to use menu_bar during the program.

So the question is, if there is any way around this problem that one
has to click twice to close the window ? Do other people have this, too ?

I also tried to turn off the menu by using menu_ienable on all the
menu titles, but as soon as I move the mouse on the still selected, but
disabled title I get garbage on the screen.

Any ideas ?

- Jan
