Instead of ten or twenty items, there were several hundred, and the routine to build the menu was taking a long time.
This delay eventually exceeded the wait times set in TestComplete, and started affecting performance.
The path to this bug was indirect and somewhat misleading, but TestComplete did eventually lead me to it.
