Menu Bar Intermittently Unavailable
 

Sometimes when I open OE the menu bar items (File, Edit, View, etc) are greyed out and unable to be selected. When this happens, all items are affected. I've always been able to clear the problem by closing and reopening OE.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages from the old identity and
delete it.
