Hi Ken
This seems more like an OS behavior
than a Rev problem doesn't it?
It sure should be made aware for those
developping on PCs hoping to deploy on osx...

Subject: Bad Idea To Disable an 'Edit' Menu
Just passing along an interesting tidbit of information that
I just ran
into:
If your application has an 'Edit' menu AND it has a
'Preferences' menu item AND you deploy to Mac OS X, then you
should never disable the entire Edit menu (you should leave
the menu itself enabled, but individually disable the items
you want to prevent users from executing).
The reason is that under OS X, the Preferences menu item
disappears from the bottom of the Edit menu and appears under
the Application menu. This item is
*always* appears enabled under the Application menu, but if
you've disabled the Edit menu, selecting Preferences from the
Application menu *won't work*.
Now, this may just be a bug (I'll log it as such), but until
it's fixed or documented, you should disable the individual
items in the menu and not the menu itself.
Ken, have you logged this yet so I can go vote for it. Personally I
think it is clearly a bug. MisterX is incorrect, this is not OS
behavior. The placement of the preferences item at the end of the
Edit menu and then moving it on OS X is pure Rev.
Whatever, thank you for pointing it out. I had not noticed it but I
have a couple of stacks where the problem exists and I am glad to fix
it before my users find it.
