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

    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
