OK, Here is a long-winded update.
I will break this into two items.
First, with respect to not seeing the menus after selecting ‘Show Menu’, you are correct, it is intermittent. Prior to writing you yesterday, I tried multiple things including hitting ‘Cmd-Tab’ to select and another application and then clicking on the Bookmarkshelf window and I still could not get the Bookmacster menus to show. I also tried clicking on other open windows (Finder, MS Word, and others) then back to Bookmacster and still no menus and no icon in the Cmd-Tab strip. However, later in the day, it started working consistently. I do not know what I did or what ‘group’ of other applications were running but now, every time I click off of Bookmacster (or use Cmd-Tab) I can go back to Bookmacster and see the menus now. In addition, when I got home and tried 1.5.1 on my home computer (MacPro) it never had the problem of not being able to get to the menus. Now, with that said, selecting ‘Show Menu’ does not automatically show the menus, I still have to do the ‘click elsewhere and back’ trick to see them.
Now, with respect to the ‘Wacky Windows’,
no 1.5.2 does not fix the issue.
What it did do was to make the orphaned windows open more slowly. With 1.5.1, they all appeared to open simultaneously but with 1.5.2 there is about a 1 second pause (after selecting Show Menu) before the first window opens and then about a ½ second pause between each of the others.
I have learned some additional info that occurs with both 1.5.1 and 1.5.2. If I have no other Bookmacster windows open at the time (other than the bookmarkshelf) and I select ‘Show Menu’, then I get the three ‘Wacky Windows’ you saw in my screen shot yesterday. However, lets say you launch Bookmacster (in the background) but don’t select ‘Show Menu’ yet. Next, open the Inspector window and
then select Show Menu. You will receive the same three extra windows as before but now you will get 2 more (see the screen shot).
Yet one more point of info. If you open the Inspector window ‘AFTER’ selecting Show Menu, you get the three extra menus as discussed yesterday but you do not get the additional two mentioned in the paragraph above. These extra two only seem to appear if you have the Inspector window open prior to selecting Show Menu.
Hope this helps.
