David,

This definitely sounds like a user error. If you have more than one menu group it will create confusion. If the group "fgttryiolk" is in the place menu then it was because you 'the user' created it first, Rev certainly did not create it or put it in your stack. Rev gets blamed for things like this all of the time. What probably happened was that you were trying to figure out what was wrong and either copied or created a menu group and while it was still selected accidently typed in the name field, then deleted this background group from that particular card but it was still in the stack. Then you created a new group and had two menu groups and were trying to fix the one but the other one was still there.

The best approach is always to create a sample stack and put a menu into it to see if it works and that you understand what you are doing in that stack then try and figure out what you did wrong in the broken stack.

Don't feel bad though, I certainly blame Rev first and then the Gods of programming before I grudgingly look at myself as the culprit. Most times if I post here others will point this out quickly and then I go OHH, sorry it was me after all. The only problem is that the thread looks like Rev is the problem but in reality it was me all along.

Next time it would be better not to put "what REALLY SUCKS about Rev" in the subject line when after all it more than likely and in this case was your mistake.

I hope that this helps.

The only way I could find to fix it was to delete the original Menu Group, create a new one, and then paste the scripts back into it. I then had a problem whereby the Menu appeared across the top of the stack window (ala Windows OS). After fishing around for ages I found that in the "Place Group" there was a group that was no where in any stack and had a weird name (something like fgttryiolk). I selected it (e.g. placed it) and it appeared in my stack. I then deleted from the stack, saved the stack, quit RunRev and restarted and then it worked!!!!!
