Can you try again ?  There's been changes w.r.t. intangibility
which might explain the bug and which should be fixed now.
This also applies to the cursor motion.  It's definitely not
perfect now but it's probably slightly different.

We should probably refill the text.  After all, I think this problem only
happens for the `dir' file, not in other menus.
