Allegro Context Menu Disabled(grayed out) after update to QIR5

Bijanbina

In Allegro PCB Designer, when I right click on canvas, all entries in context menu are show gray. They are all accessible and enabled but the text color are light gray and displayed as they are disabled.

Is it a new feature like I must select a specific mode? Is it a known issue?

Thanks

    +1. I have also seen this. It persists all the way throgh ISR037

    this is just working for me so try closing Allegro, locate the pcbenv folder %HOME% and then rename it to pcbenv_old then restart and see if this helps. If it does you will need to copy the env file from _old to the new pcbenv folder to get your user preferences and shortcuts back, if it doesn't just delete the pcbenv folder and rename _old back to pcbenv

    I moved the whole SPB folder (wich contained pcbenv folder). The problem remained for me. It seem that the only solution is to update ISR037 (current install version is ISR035)

    It is due to the disabled 'desktop composition' of the windows performance settings.

    If you enable it, the RMB menus are not greyed-out.

    I hope there will be a fix for this....

    Thanks Bruekers

    I'm using classic theme on Win7 and as you mentioned the problem arise from that

    Enabling "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" fixd it.

    Glad that it's been fix in later HotFixes
