Hello, If I run this program and perform the following sequence:

1)select the drop down menu of the first window
2)while it is dropped down try to select the drop down menu of the second window

The first menu disappears but the second menu does not drop down. I need to click the header of the second window first and then it works.

How can I make this work without having to click the header of the second window first? Seems to be a bug of some kind but perhaps someone knows of a workaround?

Thanks!

use Tk;

$top = new MainWindow(-title=>"window1");
$menu = $top->Menu();
$filemenu = $menu->Menubutton(-label => "Test");
$exitButton = $filemenu->command(-label => "Test");
$top->configure(-menu => $menu);

$top2 = new MainWindow(-title=>"window2");
$menu2 = $top2->Menu();
$filemenu2 = $menu2->Menubutton(-label => "Test2");
$exitButton2 = $filemenu2->command(-label => "Test2");
$top2->configure(-menu => $menu);

MainLoop();
