      Then it can't be the same issue, because you should see increase immediately. (However, you might get different results from what you right click on, Edge,Face,Group,Component.)

          Do you use my plugin?
          I think it should solve such issues.

            hi Alex

            yes i did as soon as i saw it.. but the result was that only some menus 'refreshed' - some other (strangely the sketchup ones like activate section plane, reverse face etc) were still grey πŸ˜•

              My plugin does not allow a possible memory leak, it protects the buffer menu.
              And I wrote about it:

              ...unfortunately, the predefined context menu commands
              (such as Explode, Hide, Erace etc.)
              are not amenable to correction,
              but the commands of other plugins should always work.

              My colleagues and I use my plugin and we are not experienced this issue any more. But we have limit plugins in use, basically most necessary.

                  You may have too many context-menu / commands running - do you have many plugins ?
                  Temporarily remove any you recently added and see what happens...

                    Have you updated any Fredo plugins?

                      Fredo's latest CurviLoft... has/needs 'Lib3.5' BUT I've found that 'Lib3.4c' [the one that was issued to stop this very problem] is still needed by Fredo's other tools to stop the dreaded graying out issue - if you don't use this 'optimizer tool'... πŸ˜•

                        thx for the quick reply guys.

                        Yes I do have lots of plugins.

                        I will try removing them.

                            Try to update all your Fredo plugins and have the latest 3.4 and 3.5 of Fredo Lib.

                              It appears as though fredoscale and fredo's ghosted components where the culprits. I removed them and the menu came back...

                                  What versions did you have? He updates his whole suite to address this issue.

                                    Ghosted components was old. V1.0 I gues that must be it. Fredoscale is 2.0i which should be the latest.

                                      You can set limit of count plugins in use!
                                      In my opinion, It's just not convenient to have so many plugins for work when context-menu does not fit completely in the screen 😲 !
