- crashes, particularly with DarkSide)

- and then found again

- when certain applications (Red Ryder and QUED/M) were frontmost
- • fixed problems when moving items from a deleted group when
- items with the same name were already in the main menu
- • fixed problem with document list in configure dialog when app
- with document list was selected and moved to another group and
