FIX: Backslash Alone in Menu Causes "Illegal Operation" Error

MORE INFORMATION

If other characters are inserted before or after the backslash, no error occurs. If the backslash is the first character, the menu choice is disbled (grayed out). The error occurs only if the backslash is the only character.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
