context menu flashes

I have been finding more of these windows/menus recently. The current source of irritation is in my Tool Settings pane on the Joint Editor when I try to assign a selection group to a node it flashes the selections and doesn't give me a chance to select anything. I push the mouse button down and nothing happens. I release it and the window displays and immediately goes away so I only catch a brief glimpse of it.

Has anyone seen this or know what is happening?

I'm using Mac OS 10.8.3 on a new Macbook Pro 15" Retina and Daz Studio 4.5.1.56 (64bit).

    Hello,
    Could it be the same problem as in this thread? http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/20340/
    Where there is a bug where two commands are allocated to the same Mouse+Key combo on Mac OS X.
    The thread describes how to check and config that.

    Unfortunately not. I think I found a workaround for it. I'd love to see if this was submitted as a bug already and submit it if not.

    There are 4 select boxes at the top of that Tool Settings pane with the Joint Editor tool active (Node, Selection Group, Parameter, and Rotation Order). The top 2 when I click on it to get a list of options, the list opens and closes immediately not allowing me to select anything from the list (or even really see what is in the list for that matter). I found that if I undock the pane hand have it in its own window I can work those selections.

    So the last question is, where might I find bug reports?

    Seems to work in 4.5.2.40 (Beta)
    I know that there were some fixes to popup menus in that build, so maybe they were fixed too.

    Actually now that I'm playing with this work around, it is actually only when docked on the left. I can dock it on the bottom or right pane and have it still function. I've moved tabs to the top, to the side, removed all other panes from that group... nothings seems to correct the bad behavior except not having it docked on the left. Times like this make me glad this is free. :)
