ver 1.8.5: still have problem with Menus

[doug foskey]

Hi,
  I have upgraded to 1.8.5 (no operational problems, except for menus, as 
before with 1.8.1.) on Mdk 9.1 (Thanks to those whose effort generated the 
rpms) This problem has been the same in both versions.
  My problem is that in Reports, 'Transaction Report', then with 'options' to 
change the dates, etc. I find the menu disappears off the bottom of the 
screen, so I cannot see or click on the box to accept the changes. 
  In Gnome, I cannot move the box up at all (so never see the 'Defaults' box 
or any more), but in KDE I can move the top menu off the screen, so I see the 
top of the 'default' box when I hide the lower screen menu.
  I have tried changing fonts, sizes, & interbox gaps (& also the pixel size 
in Advanced font setup in Gnome) in both KDE & Gnome, but the box seems to 
stay the same size.
  I suspect this is a problem with my system/setup but have run out of places 
to look. (Can someone tell me what generates the mentioned box, as it may be 
a setup problem in that module/program, perhaps.)

Thanks Doug 

Ps: My box is an old Intel dual P3/450, with Cirrus Logic on board Graphics, 
with limited graphics memory, which is possibly related to my problem (no AGP 
slot on board unfortunately)
