menu items versus buttons

Hello;

This may be a hard question to answer without seeing the code.

I built an app with buttons to do various things. Then I said "hey, I
don't want these buttons to clutter up the gui, I will put these
functions in a pull-down menu". So I do that. The code for the menu
handler for the menu bar items is EXACTLY the same as the code for the
Action event for the buttons. I even still have the buttons on the gui
so that I can test both the buttons and the menu bar items.

The buttons always work. Sometimes the menu bar items don't; I have to
"press" them several times to get a response.

Does this make any sense to anyone?

Perhaps that, when I begin the process of pulling down the menu bar
itself to access the menu items, this stalls something?

Thanks

Never mind; they're both buggy.
