Rogue menu items
 
using zmud 7.21, windows xp home sp2


the triggers/buttons menu seems extremely unstable, when i try to open it, it flashes a couple times before finally appearing... I remember in older versions this used to be a non-issue, something in the new setup eats up processing or RAM terribly... or at least that's what it seems like...

but that's not my actual problem.... When i right click in the mud window, and select 'edit menu' so i can create a right-click menu in the mud window... there are blank spaces in the menu, as though there were supposed to be menu items.

They appeared when i created a menu item, but didn't complete filling out the information in the editor window before closing it. and now i can't find any way to remove them. They aren't listed under any of the class folders, they only exist as blank spaces IN the menu

I'll re-explain so someone can re-create the problem, hopefully...
right click in the mud window, select edit menu, click new, close the editor window.... viola, you now have a ghost/rogue menu item that you can-not delete... (it seems you can create an indefinite number of these)

If someone could help me with this, that'd be great, i really don't want to have to erase the entire script and start over just because of some random blank lines...

Following your example I can't get the blank menu items, in fact I see them get deleted as I close the settings editor.

You more than likely have some corruption in your settings file. Do you ever get crashes when you close your session?

I've had the same issue at times with buttons, but they go away once you close zmud and reopen it.

I also cannot duplicate this. I would export your scripts, character and its settings file from zmud, then re-import your scripts.

no, had no problems with crashes at all - I see them deleted from the edit menu when i close it as well, but still had the blank when right clicking.

and the export/import worked! Thanks a lot to those who responded, very much appreciated!! :)
