I backed up the changes I made. And now it looks fine at least to me.

BTW I'd love if someone with some knowledge of the way menus work
could explain to me why I got that broken... and why adding the
"Tools" menu did not.

Hi Luis!

Yes, the menu system is a beast on it's own.

I've implemented the mechanism with the goal in mind to dynamically add things to the existing Analyze and Statistics menus - not to be a general approach.

I can't remember if this is a limitation of my implementation or caused by the way the menu systems work. But as I know myself, if there would be a reasonable way to write these things in a generic way I would have done it.

I didn't followed the changes you've done, so I can't give you more detailed help right now ...
