When viewing a message in a tab, if you click on the junk setting, TB will process the message according to the message filters and then it will display the next message. At this point the Menu Bar is disabled. The only resolution is to close the tab. TB will return to the In Box and the Menu Bar is re-activated. The issue appears to be intermittent. I have been unable to determine under what conditions the error occurs.

The troubleshoot file was too large to post so I had to delete some blank entries.

When I invoked Troubleshoot mode, the tool bar disappeared so I am not sure if the dump is useful.

Here is an update with additional information:

When the menu bar goes gray, if you delete the message by right clicking and using the subsequent menu selection, the message is deleted, the message above appears and the menu bar is re-activated.
