My first suggestion would be to upgrade to the latest prealpha. It's possible this was already addressed sometime in the past year and two months.

I use grid for all of my lightbar menus here, mainly just to be able to utilize all four directions, and have never seen this issue before.. then again, I don't think I saw it in A46 either, but that's too long ago to remember.

Do you have "Redraw After" for each menu item set to yes? If not, try that. Otherwise, that's really the only thing I can think of out of the ordinary. If that doesn't work, I/we may need some more specifics or possibly some screenshots of your configuration (Menu Options, Menu Settings (/ in menu options menu), and what the output looks like would be a good place to start). 

Every time a menu is loaded it should always go to the first command in the menu, unless maybe the menu isn't exited properly? Are you possibly using GoSubs and returns? If you are, then I'd imagine you're not actually exiting the menu and restarting it when you return, so things will be left where you originally left it. In that case, I would try using the GO action command instead of GS. That way it actually exits the lightbar menu, and when you use GO to go back to the lightbar menu it will start it up fresh again.

Hope one of those helps ya!

Regards,
Nick
