Right.

Your process had determined this already...  See below!  I was just
pointing out how to easily fix the problem once you discovered what
menu item was causing problems.  You can directly determine that the
"_View" menu is causing the problem based on what you determined here:

The slash is a menu separator..  This implies "_View" -> "_Toolbar"!
So, this is how you discover that it's the "_View" menu that is being
affected (and the "_Toolbar" submenu).

So, by getting this far it is showing you exactly what menu is having
problems.
