    [John Marsh] “How do you do that?”

    You tell me, it’s happening to you.

    I meant, “how do you do the move to basics forum’ – – which I did.

    Sometimes I get weird drawing glitches on menus, such as two applications’ menus being drawn over the top of each other.

    However, issues like these are purely cosmetic and it’s simply a matter of cmd-tabbing away and then back again or clicking on a menu item and moving the mouse horizontally.

    Do these suggestions fix the issue or is your Edit menu actually missing?

    My software:
    FCS Maintenance Pack – Tools to keep Final Cut Studio running smoothly and fix problems when they arise
    FCP Versioner – Backs up Final Cut Pro projects to XML and creates changelists for each revision
    More tools…

    That’s a permanant link on Creative Cow. I didn’t put that there. 😉 It’s on the bottom of every post in the FCP forum.

    That’s exactly why I asked if the menu ripples or not. I thoght it might be some sort of display issue as well.

    ME TOO!!!

    This is not constant condition with me and, because I know the keyboard shortcuts, I seldom notice that it is missing.

    I find that quitting and restarting Final Cut restores the EDIT tab. And when I have quite I usually trash prefs too.

    So I have no answer, but …

    Hey – it could be worse, right? But I can’t trace it to anything and you are the first person I have encountered you has this issue.

    Best wishes,

    Harry.

    Am rebuilding permissions after using diskwarrior, then I will try your suggestions. the ripple is automatic, edit tab simply gone and only in this program.

    I have tried EVERYTHING — and I can’t find a solution.

    I live with it and simply tell myself that FCS was not written to military spec.
