Completely Missing right click menu in Plan Window

I have the newest .71 Ver 3 installed, and as said above, I'm completely missing the right click menu in the Plan Window. It will flash color as if it were selecting, but then nothing. Works fine until connected to either FS9 or FSX, then poof! If I quit either sim program, it begins working again as it should.

Also in the main window, the select "Instrument Approach" window is completely empty until I left click where the first entry should be, then it refreshes and everything shows up as it should.

Could this somehow be related to using the AERO desktop, which is then changed to Classic when FSX or FS9 is started? No other program has any problems with it .. just Plan-G V3 and only when connected via either FSUIPC or SimConnect.

Windows7, 64bit, using two monitors (no difference which one it is on), 8gg mem, 3.?ghz, 1gg ATI vid card.

I have tried everything I know to do and can't seem to find a solution. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have the Plan-G window overlaying FSX? That would certainly do it. The FS renderer sucks the life out of any popups (menus, tooltips etc) on other apps.

No sir, I use it on the 2nd monitor by itself, but it does act as if it can't keep the focus, if that makes any sense. The strange thing to me is that the main window is fine, the loss of right click only happens in the Plan sub window and only when connected.

Very odd. Could it be the graphics card drivers, do you think?

I honestly don't know .. that's why I was checking on here to see if anyone else had the same issue. ;)

I've just noticed the same issue on my system. I also use Plan G on a separate monitor only with FS9 which runs windowed on the main screen.

I searched here to see if this was a known problem. Same issue, right click highlights the field for a short time, but no drop down menu appears.

I'm running FS9 on the main monitor, Plan G on the second. Windows 7, 4gb Ram, Nvidia GTX610 with 2gb.  Nvidia card was a recent upgrade, changed from ATI card in the last week....... guess when the problem started :-)

I'll play with the graphics settings to see if that helps.

I'm having the same problem.  Before I upgraded to the latest version, I did not.  I really miss the ability to set the active leg.
