Firstly, opening menu items seemingly uses the IDO package. However = pressing F10 or M-~ shows in the footer: Menu bar (up/down to change, PgUp to menu): f=3D=3D=3D>File getting to the other menu items only works for me by backspacing over = 'f=3D=3D=3D>File' where I can then cycle through, via ido, the rest. = It's quite annoying. However, what's worse is that when I select an item I simply get: Wrong type argument: symbolp, (history . 20) Is there a way to fix this or restore the default functionality of = eclipse for this particular feature such that the menu items pop up in a = buffer for easy selection?
