If you have a menu in your main form, everything works as expected.

If you add a menu to a second form, weird stuff happens, i havent dared to go too far, i dont want to ruin the menu in my first form,
but look at what happens when you try to edit the menu in the second form:

Win7, iMac x64 Retina display 5K, i7-5820K 4.4 ghz, 32GB RAM, All updates applied. - Firefly 3.70.

I did a little testing.  I saw what you saw, but it appears that they are just artifacts left over in the menu editor.  In one test, I closed FF (saying yes to save the project) and reopened it.  The menu editor for the second form did not have any artifacts when i checked it after restarting.

I could also go ahead and make the menu items for the second form with no problems.  When you first open the menu editor (after using it on another), click the delete command-button until all the leftover artifacts have been deleted and enter the new ones.

Another thing I noticed is that completely removing all the menu items doesn't make the menu go away in design mode.  It will be there until you close the project (or FF) and reload the project.

Not saying it works as it should, but at least you can do what you want to do.  Make a test project and perform some tests yourself before tying it on a real project.  It never hurts to be sure.

Hope that helps,

David
