WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL and GUICtrlCreateMenu causes bug

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

Hi,

I reported this bug 16 months ago (Ticket 2167) but Jon rejected the bug like many others two weeks ago..

If you run the code below in version 3.3.8.1 and even in the latest 3.3.9.15.. it produces attached file example1.png. If you remove the line $Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("help") from the example the problem does not exist.. if you place GUISetState() after GUICreate it produces attached file example2.png .. it looks good but it does not show the button on the first tab .. only after switching the tab.. the button will be visible again..

If you move the CreateMenu item to the end of the list of things being created, it doesn't cause the problems. Also, you never close the tab item creation by using "GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")" after the last tab item created, which might be causing part of your problem.

@BrewManNH

You are right i do not use GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") .. never used it .. and it's mentioned in the help files .. it solves the problem of the missing button..
Indeed the menu item at the end of the script solves the problem .. but it's still a bug. the code or the help files should change..

Thanks
