emacs w32 menu disapprears after clicking item

[rst]

Hi!

GNU Emacs 22.0.98.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-04-17 on
LENNART-69DE564 (patched)

Clicking a menu item in emacs w32 lets the menu disappear completetly.
Only after pressing C-g does it reappear.

How can i find out which of my settings causes this behaviour or can
anybody tell me why this happens.

my .emacs:

Hi and sorry - I "fixed" the problem but cannot really tell what made it run.
Actually I started with an empty .emacs and added my stuff incrementally always checking where it
breaks. Well - it didn't. Strange... now I have ecb and rails running ...

Hi again,

No - it doesn't really work.

I think I found the delinquent: emacs-rails alias rails-minor-mode. After requiring that one and
activating rails-minor-mode the menu killing effect is there: all menu items to the right of the RoR
menu item disappear after clicking RoR or any item to the right (loading rails last only leaves the
"Help" item).
Now anyway the RoR seems to work but I do not trust the situation ...

can you suggest help or do have I have to file an error to emacs-rails - I think I will.

finally even after starting with "emacs -Q" - that is loading "nothing" - the menus disappeared also.

I therefore deleted the whole emacs installation folder (C:/Programme/Emacs) and installed then same
version again.

No more problems until now!

This case is closed for me at the moment. I will incrementally activate all functions and see which
one makes problems. Maybe updating over existing older installations caused a problem?

What version was the older installation you installed over?

I already deleted the old installation file.
I think it was the patched emacs CVS W32 from beginning of March, maybe even a newer one.
I never had emacs 21 installed.

Thanks. The problem you had looks very strange. I suspected as you 
guessed that you might have some old Emacs 21.

Please report if you see it again.

Report!

Oh dear; I updated all ruby files, compiled everything afresh and started!
I could work with the "new" installation for maybe a day.
I almost believed I made it...

You know what comes - after creating a few controllers and db migrations with rails (emacs-rails) I 
click on the menu - and all items to the right of the click disappear!
I restart emacs and click on the menu - now the whole menu disappears - until I do any keypress in a 
buffer - it reappears completetly - only to disappera again after being clicked.

It is too bad - I need the menu because there are too many new things to learn (ECB, Rails etc.) the 
shortcuts for. My work with emacs has stopped at the moment...

I am "desperate" - can anybody help me debug the emacs (w32) menu?
