Exactly. I have the IsoCSG one and the scene templates menus, but as far 
as I know I haven't run into item 1 above. However, I do suffer from item 
2. On mine I am get the following quirks:

It may help to know if this is common to all cases of having those menu 
extensions installed. I think this started happening right after I 
installed the CSG ones, but before adding the Basic scene template one, 
so the CSG by itself may somehow be doing it. It is definitely odd and I 
don't trust the menu at all because of it.
