Martin!

Yes, I meant "dragging" the mouse.

Wrong entries are not only associated with latex mode. Here example on 
calender:holiday going into org-mode(cal_hol.png; org_hol.png). 
Corruption of menu from other mode.

When starting emacs -Q I cant see any different behavior. Invoking dired 
with C-x d or M-x dired give the same result - incomplete menues as 
shown in dired1. However "dragging" the mouse opens the menues shown in 
dired2.
