Mistreatment of mode-popup-menu by easy-menu-remove (was: auctex LaTeX menu)
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.emacs.xemacs as well.
[Copying this to xemacs-beta. Context for people there: The following
description applies to toggling of math mode in AUCTeX.]

One last little thing, not very important but nevertheless a bug:
If I use the popup and then turn Math Mode on (C-c ~), the two entries
expand to 3 as it should, but then if I toggle C-c ~ again, both the Math
and the LaTeX menus disappear from the popup leaving only Command. I can
get it back by toggling again, but as I said it now toggles only between 3
entries and 1 entry.
It seems that this is a bug in `easy-menu-remove' which strips all
menus except the "Command" menu from `mode-popup-menu'. The following
change in easymenu.el should fix this:
--- easymenu.el 12 Apr 2001 20:21:17 +0200 1.5
+++ easymenu.el 24 Feb 2005 19:20:30 +0100

The patch applies to HEAD of the release-21-4 branch. AFAICS 21.5
suffers from the same problem.
