Drop-down menu disappears from schematic window, moving into layout window when VXL is launched

Hello,

A custom Drop Down menu, skill based, for Virtuoso is showing OK when launching Layout or Schematic windows individually. When VXL is launched from schematic window the Drop Down menu disappears from the schematics window and moves to  the layout window. Upon loading Virtuoso I am loading Triggers.il file as shown below.

Any tip why will be greatly apperciated...


Thanks,

Danny

    Danny,

    Please post your code. I tried a simple example and don't see this behaviour.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
