Menus don't work

[oliverwatson]

Menus don't appear when clicked. They appear when double-clicked, but they just disappear when I try to click on a menu item, making the app unusable. 

I tried trashing the preferences and updating my (Kensington) mouse driver, which is connected via a USB hub and works reliably on all other software.

Adobe support suggested I open a different project from the finder. In the new project, menu behaviour was normal. Next, start a new project and import the problem project into it.

No explanation other than it is a "project-specific error."

Why cant they just fix it properly. This bug is stopping me from doing paid work, its our lively hood on the line.
