Command + H Hide active window option disabled

Not sure what I did, but all of a sudden I can no longer use the Keyboard Shortcut, Command + H to hide windows. When I click on the menu, like Firefox, it shows it in the list, but it's grayed out and it won't let me select it. Somehow I must have accidentally clicked something to disable it.

No matter what program I open, they all have the same grayed out menu option for the Command + H

No it's grayed out. It won't let me select the menu item either. I can click Show All and then it enables that menu item, but after I click on Hide Window, it gray's out the option on any other app that I have open.

Very Strange.

One troubleshooting technique is to create a new admin account in System preferences/Accounts. Login to this new account and see whether the problem persists. If not, it would seem to be a glitch with your main login account. If the problem occurs with the new admin account we will have to re-think!
