Both of those are working. When it breaks, there is no highlight at all.

I'll play with it again when I get home from work.

The problem seems to only affect ROX. And maybe it's only ROX-2.10 from Puppeee4.4 and Fluppy05.

Downloaded a fresh copy of 4.4 beta 1 and put in on my SD card.

Running Rox as my desktop and Icewm as my windows manager.

Still can't recreate the problem.

If we can't figure it out, I'll revert back to 2.0.1 version without the icons, add the Exec data and develop from there.

I'll try it on a fresh install later today. Maybe it's only my dev box - it does get hosed up from time to time. Smile

Ok,

Finally able to duplicate the problem, and it's a weird one.

I'm using a fresh full install of Puppeee 4.4 beta 2.

Change your theme to Brushed.

Open Chrome and Geany and test the menus work normally.

Open pmenu and select a program from either list so the icon shows.

While pmenu is still open test the menus on Chrome and Greany. (Should function normally)

Close pmenu and check the menus again. (No highlighting for the menu system)

Close and reopen Chrome and Greany and check the menus again. (Should function normally)

You can also fix the problem by re-applying the theme.

Doesn't seem to effect Firefox, still checking other programs.

May take some research to figure this one out....

Sorry,newbie question. After I've downloaded the pmenu-3.0.0.pet which is actually a pupzip tar.gz file ,and the required gtk...pet, what do I do? Pls bear with me,usually I just click the pet and it would auto install.
I am keen to use this tool in puppy 431, Wary 511 and 522, 214X-TOP9 and Lighthouse . Thanks in advance.

'That simply works,thanks so much;instead of hunting high and low for the latest pmenu.pet to update the original/default pmenu editor,greedy me Embarassed

.
Btw,before you came to my rescue,I've carelessly or accidentally deleted the opera icon on the desktop in the usr/share/applications folder and it became a triangle with exclamation mark inside but not linked to anything,how do I restore or remove this "hanging" icon?
Edit: It's OK,I've figured out how to remove or edit the menu item or put one on the desktop.
