The reason for this problem is the context menu handler of your graphics
card driver (the one showing the menu entries "Graphics Options". That
is an ownerdrawn item (but not correctly implemented) and together with
TSVN's context menu handler, Windows gets confused.

Remove that "Graphics Options" handler, or try to configure it so that
it won't use ownerdrawn items.
