The loose item was defined with just a dot or a single space in Easymenu IIRC
+--------------------------+ | Info Window 1 with text | | +--------------------+ | | |Loose item -1 | | | +--------------------+ | +--------------------------+ MDRAW #0,menu MWINDOW #0,-1 t$='text' MINPUT #0,t$ MCLEAR #0 As you say, not a great problem at all, quite easy to work around. It didn't even fail every time - sometimes it would work, sometimes you'd get an obscure error. Probably tied up with the other problems mentioned on this list about the first loose item.
