(I don't see any menu when I run Emacs 22.1.) In the minibuffer I see the words "glish/European]" (the font-size is bigger than in other parts and the font-weight is bold. The start of the string "[English" lies outside the emacs windows and is not visible). When I click into the minibuffer a small window pops up showing the 8 entries. The annoyance is that I don't see any minibuffer 'messages' when I'm e.g. looking for a file (hitting C-x f, entering the beginning of a file name and then hitting TAB, or hitting M-x and starting to enter a command), The regular minibuffer messages appear above the menu and I have first to resize first the minibuffer before I see what I typed (the minibuffer is only 1 line height and does not automatically expand). To illustrate the problem better I took some screenshots: They can be seen here http://www.sonoqua.ch/emacs/ . > Also, does this happen when you start Emacs with "emacs -Q"?
