Known Issues for the WPF Window and Menu Painters

On Windows 7, the arrow button (spin control) for the MenuStyle property in the PowerBuilder .NET Menu painter is very small, and only one item is visible in the associated drop-down list.

When you start entering text for a menu item label in the Menu painter, PowerBuilder .NET provides a background highlight for the new menu item. If you right-click a different menu item and select Insert Submenu Item while the background highlight is still present, the IDE stops responding.

Workaround: When you finish entering text for a menu item label, click off the menu item before right-clicking a different menu item.

The functionality of controls in a window that you saved as another window may incorrectly invoke the script in the second window. If you then delete the second window, the script for the controls in the original window is inactivated.

Workaround: Close the solution after you save one window as another, then reopen the solution.

In PowerBuilder .NET, you cannot delete menus that include symbols, such as "@," "#,""$," and so on, in their names.

Not all events are listed on this tab, and if you show an object's events in the Properties window, then double-click an event, or click in the drop-down list next to one of the listed events, an error message indicates the event handler is invalid.
