Two noobie questions...?

I've wondered - for many months, the CVS compile came with this great file / core / capture, etc., menu:

It was missing from the official 0.71, so I was assuming that it would be added in the final version of 0.72. But now the official 0.72 is out and the menu is still not there! But the CVS has it all the time. Or am I somehow running the official version incorrectly?

And the other question... when I click and "grab" Dosbox's window e.g. to move it, the emulation freezes. That's very annoying especially when something is being captured - can this be disabled and can the emulation run all the time? I'm guessing it's some kind of auto-pause, but I couldn't find any setting related to it, any option to disable it... the only reference is to pausing/resuming emulation manually. :\

That menu is yhkwong's own creation. The DosBox devs are using Moe's menu system which I think is compatible with more operating systems and less obtrusive to the DosBox interface. (It's only shown when needed, not all the time).

Why would you move around the DosBox window while capturing?

The "pause when grabbed" behaviour is a typical MS Windows behaviour. DOSBox doesn't contain any code to pause when moving, it's Windows itself doing that. There's no workaround except for "don't do that".
