Hey all,
I'm getting a weird bug in Apple Mail. Everytime I try to access any contextual menu I get a giant, long, blank menu with the options only visible on the bottom after some scrolling.

Has anybody ever seen this before? Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks.

Yes, everybody has this problem. One empty item for each time you show the window.

Without seeing the code? No.

No kidding. I did some searching before I posted and saw nothing about it. Oh well. I assume then that if everybody has it, Apple knows about it. At least I hope so.

I've never seen this.

It doesn't happen on my machine.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

First close and re-show the window, before you make such false claims.

Happens to me as well, though not nearly as many blank spaces as the original poster. Maybe 6 or 7.
Patiently waiting for Apple to fix it

I thought I was going insane till i saw this thread...

I believe this bug is left over from Jaguar (I think I recall seeing it in Jaguar too). What the heck is Apple's problem? If it happens to everyone and the cause is known, surely they could have fixed it by now.
