Menu items misaligned

Happy Thanksgiving!

When you first start PM under Windows 7 64 bit and hover over items in the top menu, their alignment changes (see below).  As soon as you resize PM, the menu items snap back to proper alignment.

Interesting. Also Win 7 64 bit but this doesn't happen on my system. Wonder if it's a difference in graphics cards.

Could be the graphics driver I suppose.  I'm using NVidia.

I tested on my laptop, and while it doesn't have exactly the same problem, the location of the menu bar changes slightly as PM starts up.

On my desktop I can duplicate this "laptop" behavior by starting PM and then resize the window.  As the window is resized, the menu bar drops down a few pixels.

Interestingly, if I hold down the shift key when starting PM on my desktop, I don't get the problem.  But without holding down the shift key, the problem persists.

Deven,

For PM 5 we switched to Microsoft's latest MFC libraries and unfortunately they're full of little cosmetic issues like these.  I have spent many hours working around the ones I've been able to reproduce, but I haven't seen this one before.  At least it isn't a show stopper like many of the others I've worked around.

I suspect that at some point this issue will be fixed in a future MFC library update.
