SYMPTOMS

This behavior only occurs when running Microsoft Windows version 3.0. When running Microsoft Windows version 3.1, the menus remain visible as you would expect.



WORKAROUND
To keep the Toolbox or Color Palette system menu pulled down when running Microsoft Windows version 3.0, you must hold down the mouse button.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
