Hi,

 Do as follows:

 Start with the default scene, but remove the plane.

 Rendering is not needed here, so no camera is inserted/needed.

 Add a sphere to the scene.

 Select sphere

 Cursor to selection

 Add lattice

 Make Lattice parent of sphere

 Deform Lattice/Sphere a little.

 Select sphere again

 Choose either from Header Menu or Popup Menu Object->Transform->Apply
 Deformation 

 (get astonished because asked for "Make Dupli's real"...)

 Answer YES (press MBUT) to popup dialog.

 Select Lattice

 "Un-Parent" Lattice
 
 Delete Lattice

 ==> The sphere jumps back to its initial shape.

 Conclusion:
 The menu entries do call the wrong function, which asks for "Make
 Dupli's real?".

 Only the Hotkey CTRL-SHFT-A call the correct function at all.

 The funtion itsself ("Apply Deformation") itsself works ok.


 Keep rendering!
