Selected Item in Context Menu stays visible forever. I right click, up pops the context menu, I select a menu item, the context menu disappears, but leaves the selected menu item permanently visible on top of all other desktop windows. Annoying!!
I've had this occur a lot in XP and now Win7 too. Finally I find a solution..
Kill the Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) in the task manager. It will restart itself and the zombified menu item will disappear.
UPDATE:
Alternatively, and much safer.. Set the desktop bit depth to a different bit depth (16bit), then select NO when asked to keep the setting. The screen gets refreshed, orphan elements disappear. Simple and effective.
UPDATE:
..but not permanent.
Maybe more luck with this..
Nope, fragments just reappear soon enough. Grr..
