[SOLVED]Xterm menu doesn't work properly

Hello,
Xterm menu which open by "ctrl + rmb/lmb/mmb" doesn't work most of the time, instead of this I get a black rectangle as on the picture, when I press ctrl + rmb/...

Sometimes it works, but only for one hotkey i.e. for ctrl + rmb works, but ctrl + lmb/mmb doesn't. And in the 2 different terminals, only 1 hotkey may work in first, but in the other all hotkeys may not to work.

Picture of black rectangle: http://0x0.st/H-mi.png

Xresources:

XTerm*foreground: gray
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*font:-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-iso10646-1

But when I edit Xresources(changing color for instance), after that all menu work fine, untill next X restart. Where can be a problem?

Thanks in advance

How do you start X11/load the xrdb?
In doubt post your xinitrc and check "xrdb -q" when things don't work.

Also:
If you set "XTerm*background: dodgerblue" , is the black rectangle now dodgerblue?

Thanks, Problem is solved

I had some options in Xresources which were before which are in top post and in xinitrc was a -merge flag for xrdb and  I think some options were conflicting(fonts I suppose) So deleting -merge flag was a solution.
