Symptoms

If you use the right mouse button to drag items to different locations in the Start menu, you may experience unexpected results. For example, when you drop an object anywhere in the Start menu, a context menu may be opened for the item closest to that location. Afterwards, you may be unable to open or close cascading menus on the Start menu, or to close the Start menu itself.
