It's a known RB bug. Popup menus on Composite windows cause infinite refreshing.

There are two bug reports in the system for this already. Feel free to sign on, 
it will encourage
RB to fix the issue.

The workaround of course is to not composite windows that have popup menus.

I have also noticed that in RB 5.5, if you put two controls 6 pixels or less 
apart, any refreshes
to one control will cause the other to refresh as well. Something else to be on 
the lookout for.
