Dear Revolutionaries As a test I reduced the number of items in each menu so that all items could be displayed in the dropdown view, without scrolling. Now the menus are stable and no amount of clicking in them or selecting items causes rev to crash.
The problem seems to be the scrollbars that are needed when there are more items than the dropdrown can display. Is there some scrollbar timimg or delay parameter that can be reset to make the behavior of these menus more stable or are combo/option menus with scrollbars inherently buggy? I guess it could also be some special character that is no longer loaded into the menu list. Is there a problem with certain characters in menus (like @ for example)?
