What version of Solaris are you using? I am guessing you are using GEF
2.1.3 as well.
Do you see anything in the error log? No exceptions being thrown?
Try setting a font from JFaceResources on the FigureCanvas, just to test if
it fixes the problem.
Are you creating the context menu properly? Where are the menu items being
removed? You might want to try the SWT newsgroup to get more info about
this.
Could it be that the menu items you are adding have no text set? If you are
externalizing strings, maybe there's problem with that mechanism.
Can you run the 2.1.3 logic example on Solaris and see if you can reproduce
this problem? If not, you can compare your way of setting the context menu
to GEF's. We have tested the GEF 3.0 logic example on Solaris 9 and it has
been working fine.
Just doing some brain-storming to figure out what could be wrong.
Hopefully, one of these things will help you figure out the problem.

Pratik, thanks for the reply. Notes inlined ...

This is with eclipse+gef versions 2.1.1 - 2.1.3. Solaris is 8 (I have tried
a few different machines that have various patch clusters ... albeit not
quite the latest)

Nada ... silence

I will try that; but I wanted to avoid it because selecting fonts
cross-platform is a pain. I was hoping that "defaults" consistent with the
rest of the platform would work (there are many other places we bring up swt
context menus with no problems; this is the only one that fails)

I cross-posted to swt ... but no biters there

This works fine on win32 and linux/gtk. No empty strings and no externalized
strings in this particular code.

Thanks for your insights ... I'll was hoping to avoid forcibly setting
fonts, but I'll try that next
