This behavior can also be seen in Safari's Bookmarks menu. The trouble
is that it's nice to be able to dynamically update the menus, so that
if you add a bookmark while you have torn-off the Bookmarks menu it
shows up. The problem is that some menus are built from scratch every
time you ask if they have changed, which causes the loading and
unloading of the items. That is, StepMenus asks the menu to update, so
it removes all the current items. I think a workable solution might be
to find a way to show only the end state rather than update the menu as
it is build, look for it in the next release.
