We've encountered menu problems with Pagemaker and MacDraw 1.9,
although none of them are exactly like yours so far.
In the last stable edition of Pagemaker version 2, some 
menus wouldn't appear in the large font. In Pagemaker
3.01, the large fonts appear, but when I move up and down
in the Type menu, some menu items are redrawn 1 1/2 lines
above where they should be. Old MacDraw was even more
confusing - the Lines menu displayed lines in "small"
format but you could only pick them in "large" format.
To get the line I really wanted, I'd have to pick an item
2 1/3 lines below the displayed line. Confusing.
