AutoCAD Electrical menu utilities loaded.*Cancel*

See my screenshots... Untitled1 is the first drawing loaded and thus is initializing the ACAD environment to some degree... untitled2 illustrates how the issue does not appear on subsequent drawings load-up.

 

Trying to track this down is frustrating.  I haven't tried re-creating a profile from scratch yet, thinking it HAS to be an issue with some customization I've done somewhere, but I guess that's my next step, maybe my only choice.  I've temporarily eliminated acaddoc.lsp and acad2018doc.lsp from the system, but no effect, so I put them back.  I've unloaded menus through MENULOAD... still this *Cancel* persists.  Since it only appears on the first drawing to load, it must have something to do with the initial environment becoming active.  I can open a drawing from my ACE project, or a blank drawing, whatever... it doesn't matter... and the NEXT drawing to open does not ever result in this "AutoCAD Electrical menu utilities loaded.*Cancel*" issue.

Thankfully I can't see that it is causing any obvious problems, but it's troubling just the same.

I played around with this some more this morning.  Discovered it happens on every profile, including <<ACADE>> and <<VANILLA>>.  It still happens even when there are no menus or LISP routines to load.

 

What routine produces the message "AutoCAD Electrical menu utilities loaded."  Whatever is causing this *Cancel* message to appear, it happens with NO menus and NO custom lisp in the environment.  This message appears when I'm running the <<VANILLA>> profile... which makes no sense since I'm not loading the Electrical package when using that profile.

 

It happens even with a blank, new profile!!  I've checked a couple other installations, and it happens on those systems too.

 

How else does one track a bug when all they get to go on is "*Cancel*" followed by apparent "normal" operation of the system?

Upon loading the first drawing or environment, mine has always been followed with the *Cancel*. I even have two custom files loading and get the same result - I do believe this is a normal behavior. Is there a reason you're trying to track down why this happens or is there an underlying problem?

No problems with it so far, just trying to understand it.  Anytime I see something like this in ACAD I know it means something didn't work as intended, so I'm concerned with what *might* be failing to load.
