Description

When pressing the Options key, the CEikMenuBar::StartDisplayingMenuBarL() function is invoked. The code does not check if the array of the menu pane has elements, so a negative index is used and this causes the application to panic.

Solution

Populate the menu with menu items in Carbide UI Designer.
