I've got the same configuration - a Radius two-page display and FullWrite. 
I think it's FullWrite's fault. FW does its own thing with menus - any color
set for menus doesn't carry over to FW; the menus don't tear off (VERY
frustrating). I suspect that FW uses its own menu routines, overlaying anything
else the system may be doing.

I know an upgrade is in the works, but I don't imagine that this will be
"fixed," since it's a major part of how FW does menus. (Remember what
happens when you press Option and drop down a menu? Remember walkdown
menus?)

As for FW, it's OK for manuals of 50 pages or less - in fact it's very
good for that - but I've just about had it with books. I'm seriously
considering going to Interleaf, even if it is the most expensive
piece of Mac software around...
