Menu Corruption (OpenInsight Specific)

We have a fairly large menu (in SYSREPOSWINS it takes some 46 lines).
We can add additional options, compile and run it.
However, when we return to modify the menu, an audible click is heard and none of the options appear.
Using the System Editor on SYSREPOSWINS we can see all the details.
Any way to retrieve the menu?

I have tried everything but you cannot get it back.
The only way is via a backup copy and using check-outs to recover the form.
The problem WILL reappear in the future so take care.
If you are like me and have a STATUS bar, with text displayed from the menu, then this is causing the form to be too large for OI, or so I understand. I have found that the best way aroound this is to store a number for each menu option, then use the CHANGED event on the STATUS bar to display the appropriate text.
I have used a COMMON here to speed it up to save reads for each.
Perhaps this is not a lot of help as far as the problem, but be careful as, I have lost many days work due to this.
