I just installed 2.50.12 for x64. It's much faster, which is great as that's why I upgraded the GDC, but for some reason it's making a menu bar at the bottom that replicates the toolbar at the top of the application.

Here is what the application look like in 2.11:


And here is 2.50.12:


Here is the property set of the second MenuAction item (which does Delete):



Any thoughts on what would cause this, and how to eliminate the problem?

What doesn't look right is the value of the name attribute in the screenshot from the property tree.  I can't think of a situation where the value for name would be blank like that.  It reminds me of a support case where the customer had written a DOM tree manipulation function to change the text and comment attributes, but had written it in such a way that the name attribute was also changed.

The other thing you may want to look at is the value for defaultView.  You may find that setting defaultView=no makes the problem disappear, but I think the thing you want to look at first is why the name attribute is blank.

Hi Ben,

I think it's expected. Since GDC 2.21, actions without names are now visible as empty buttons. See the GDC 2.21 migration guide for the detailed explaination:

I hope it clarifies.

Best regards,
