Check out this message and patch from David:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I detect an error in the gui-menu system:

 - in a small screen size (like 320x200);
 - if a sub-menu overlapped its parents (and the parent not is the menu-
bar);
 - when you move the mouse, and select some item which is overlapping an
   item of the parent menu, the item of the parent menu is selected!

Well, this little patch fix it. I test it on ASE 0.0.4 (CVS).

This is probably the change that causes the new, weird behaviour in the
grabber. But I don't understand the menu code, so I can't fix it for you
:-(

Bye for now,
