Mechanical 2011 - typing minus character opens title bar menu

I am using Mechanical 2011 with SP2, Win XP SP3.

 

This problem has just started in the last couple weeks so I wonder if it is some setting that may have gotten changed.  Most of the time (but not all the time) when I type the minus character, it opens the title bar menu for window sizing (restore, minimize, maximize, etc.).  It doesn't seem to matter if I have the cursor selected in the drawing area or in the command line, it still happens just the same.

 

This is getting really annoying because when I enter a negative value or type -AR for command line array, it resizes the window instead.

Workaround: set system variable Menubar = 0.
