Right-Click, New Command Displays Blank Context Menu

Post by mcjathan »

I believe a found a bug in the latest nightly...

When you right-click in a folder, and then choose “New”, the subsequent context menu is blank.

See the attached PDF file (screenshot) for further details.

I take it you are using either Win XP, Vista or Win 7 32bit operating system and the 32bit version of Explorer++.
This has been a bug for a while. I've reported it also about a month ago.

It isn't like that in the 64bit version of ++

Yes, I'm using Win XP Pro (with all the latest patches), and the 32-bit Explorer++.

I'm new to Explorer++ and this forum. What's the best way for me to search for submitted bugs so I don't duplicate a bug report?

Also, I don't run any 64-bit machine or application. Will Explorer++ 64-bit run on my old Win XP Pro machine?

What about the "search" link at the top? ;)

I never tried that, but I would say "no" at 99.9999999999999999999999999999999%

This sounds like the problem I have when on XP.

See
http://www.explorerplusplus.com/phpBB3/ ... t=10#p1879
Can you try the demo exe on that post to see if it fixes the problem?

There is also a patch for the fix, if you intend on modifying the code, or including other patches (VS2010 required).
