IE8 - Favorites Menu Problem

[charliech@email.com]

I have a bit of a problem with my Favorites Menu in IE8. Sometimes

when I use Favorites to visit a sub-menu of a Favorites Item, and come

back to it later, the sub-menus will not display. I can double click

on the Favorites Item and it will display a window with the sub-menu.

Close the window and go back to the Favorites Item, and then it will

display the sub-menu.



What could be causing this type of activity and how would I correct

it? I'm running on WinXP with all the updates.



Thanks

I see this quite frequently. IMHO it's an unresolved, "WTF?" bug in IE7 and

IE8 due to a minor memory leak (and/or having a large number of RSS feeds

which update too-frequently). I gave up trying to fix it and just open a

new tab.
