For what it's worth, in Mac OS X 10.2.8 Jaquar, when I use UI Browser's hot
key while holding the "Edit > Find" menu open, I get the correct path: menu
bar 1 > menu "Edit" > menu item "Find" > menu "Find" > [5 children,
including menu item "Find Panel...", etc.]
I don't have Panther running just now, but are you aware that the menu bar
hierarchy has changed in Panther with the addition of "menu bar item"
elements as direct children of the menu bar? Working from memory, the path
in Panther should be: menu bar 1 > menu bar item "Edit" > menu "Edit" > menu
item "Find" > menu "Find" > [5 children]
Yes. I just booted into Panther 7B68 (the most recent I have) and tried
this, and I get the correct path as indicated in the previous paragraph. So
I don't think there's an Apple bug here in 7B68. If you're getting a
different result, then it would be a bug introduced for the first time in
7B74.
