Hi Olivier, I find it difficult to agree with you. Here we have one
command - menu - called with the same options, executed in two
different ways, producing two distinctly different results. This isn't
always grounds for crying 'bug', but in this case 'menu' (or 'popup')
should (IMHO) produce the same result, in the way I have used it above.
I can't see any logical or practical reason why the results should
differ. . .
