disables context menus for submenus/"jumplists" in start menu
Hi!
This feature is wonderful (I've already benefited from the ability to edit .pdf metadata), but I notice one side-effect: in the past, I was able to start at the start menu, go to a "nested menu" (submenu, or "jumplist"), hover the mouse pointer over the menu, "right-click" to get a context menu for a context menu for any given file, and do whatever (in this case, reach and select the "properties" menu of a file without opening an explorer window and browsing all the way there by hand); but after installing this feature (metadata editor), any attempt to right-click on ANY menu (or submenu) item collapses/closes the menu, and nothing else happens. (I can get context menus everywhere else... just not in items in the start menu or submenus, anymore.)
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2. Any idea what's going on?

[Dijji@05/01/2015] Hi
No, I don't know what is going on. I live in Windows 7, mainly, which has no direct equivalent to the scenario shown by your very helpful JPEG attachment. The closest Windows 7 has is a list of recently opened files shown when you hover over, say, Notepad, and the context menu works as it should there. I will have to spin up a Vista virtual machine to check this out, which will take me a few days.
In the meanwhile, could you confirm that the problem does not occur if you deselect the context menu feature when installing File Meta? This will help confirm my current best guess, which is that the problem occurs during context menu construction in the File Meta context handler.

[Dijji@21/01/2015] I'm afraid that I haven't as yet managed to locate a copy of Vista. It must be in one of these storage boxes, somewhere.
