Peter,

Thanks for confirming the problem and coming up with a workaround. I've created bug report #7832 for this bug.

Does anyone know if there are any consequences in using the "button" syntax instead of "menu"? Menu works fine on Mac and Windows so I don't want to break any of my existing code.

Bill,

I created a new main stack. On it placed a dropdown menu with the usual
three default choices, and a button with a script reading:

 on mouseUp
  disable menuItem 2 of menu "test"
 end mouseUp

and, as for you, what comes up when I click is

Chunk: no such object
Object  Button
Line    disable menuItem 2 of menu "test"
Hint    test

What works is

 disable [or enable] menuItem 2 of button "test"

As does

 disable [or enable] button "test"

Unlike you, I got the same thing from the message box.

Dunno, its not quite as the dictionary says, but maybe you can't refer to them as menus for some reason? Was yours pulldown? Hard to see why it
should be any different in Linux though.

Would someone who is familiar with Linux do a test for me?

I have a program built on a Mac for Linux and I get an error in Linux
when I try to disable a menuItem. The error is Type: Chunk: no such
object. The syntax looks correct and works on Mac and Windows builds.

I then created a new stack in the IDE on Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) with
menus and issued both the command in the message box (disable menuItem
1 of menu "Help") and in the script of a button. No error was
generated but the menuItem was not disabled.

If someone could either confirm this or tell me what I'm doing wrong I
would appreciate it.
