I mentioned this a while back (a couple of months perhaps, but a search 
of news.povray.org doesn't reveal the message) and didn't see a response 
that addressed a solution. This also was brought up by Thomas Eicher on 
10 Sept, 2002. It shows up when adding a couple of Insert menu add-ons 
("Basic templates" by Friedrich Lohmueller and "IsoCSG include file" by 
a person whose name I don't have access to at this time).

Two problems show up:
1) Past a certain point in the Insert menu, nothing is inserted in the
    file being edited. With both add-ons installed, Shapes/quadric will
    insert text, but Shapes/quartic will not. This breakpoint changes
    depending on which add-ons are present, and what position they are
    placed in the menu.
2) Previews show up in strange places. With the above mentioned add-ons
    installed, I see previews under various items in the Render menu (for
    example "Select File and Render" and "Run Demo"). They show up all of
    the way through to "Help/About POV-Ray for Windows...".

Let me know if you need any additional info.
