[Bug] Submenu arrows missing in Vista by mynetx on 05-04-2008 at 01:17 PM

The submenu arrows for Messenger Plus!-generated menus are missing when hovering the submenu entry in Windows Vista.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Click the Messenger Plus! icon in the contact list toolbar.
  2. Hover the item "Lock Messenger", and look at the entry "Messenger Skin", it has a black arrow on its right.
  3. Now hover the item "Messenger Skin" so the submenu expands. The arrow is gone.

Well, ok, but in XP it stays black?

Arrow becomes white when hovered over and turns black again.

This might be an old known issue...
...which, in that case:
