Forget my previous email! I just discovered I was doing a very basic mistake: not returning true from the menu handler... now I'm embarassed and mad with me - how could I forget about this one?
So Robert, just place "Return True" on the menu handler. Anyway, why when using a menu shortcut item that does not display a modal window and *without* "Return True" on the menu handler creates the same problem?
