Are you on the same build? I wonder what could be different then...

Yup, downloaded from the build machine. 0.31.0-9452 / d90fd5f2f (though the SHA doesn't say anything about the shell I guess).

Interestingly, I noticed another difference between your screenshot and the appearance on my machine: the "F" in File is farther to the left in your screenshot. (On mine, it starts near the right edge of the right bracket in the Brackets icon above, whereas on yours it's closer to the left bracket.) I wouldn't expect that to be different on different machines since it's all in the native code and isn't based on window width. Perhaps there's some difference in the OS appearance settings/theme that's different? (Are you running in a "classic" theme mode, maybe?)

FWIW, I just switched into the "Windows Classic" theme, and that does indeed mess up the redraw of the menu items on mouseover, although in that case they move to the left on my machine (and you can see a little bit of the original position of the menu items peeking out). It doesn't sound like that's exactly your problem since the behavior is different, but that's probably something else we need to look at fixing.

No, I'm running stock Windows 7. But note that the VM images of 7 usually have the more GPU-intensive look & feel options turned off, even if they're on by default for regular Windows 7 installs.
For example, if you open Notepad or something and drag it around, do you see a blurred version of the content behind it through the titlebar? If not, then your VM isn't running the default "Aero Glass" l&f. (And that might explain why you see flicker and I don't -- I think Aero Glass is double-buffered while the more simpler modes are not).

i.e. if you go to Control Panel > Personalization, is the selected theme "Windows 7" (under "Aero Themes") or "Windows 7 Basic"?

Yes, I'm using Aero Glass (it's listed as "custom theme", but I'm pretty sure it's based off the standard Windows 7 theme and it has the glass effects in the window chrome).

I just switched to the Windows 7 theme and still don't see the menu issue.

@peterflynn can you try today's 1108 build? This should be fixed now.

@njx your issue should be fixed as well. @peterflynn It was actually fixed around 11:30pm PDT last night -- (I hope) but, to avoid confusion, please try today's latest build. I was computing where the menu items should be drawn and now ask the system and it is a much better experience. It fixed a couple of issues and one reported by@jasonsanjose on Windows 8 so I'm hoping that it fixes the issues on Windows 7 with Areo and Classic that both you and@njx were seeing.

Confirmed fixed in the "WrathOfKhan9477" build
I'm testing with the build Jeff sent out yesterday (WrathOfKhan9452)...
Result: 2 - menu item labels jump up a few px on mouseover. They remain higher on mouseout 4 - menu item labels have jumped back down, so you can repeat step 2
Here's a screenshot where I've moused over Debug & Help, and the remaining menu labels are in their original, lower position:
