I have encountered a strange issue regarding the enable/disable status of menu items when my menu extra only application (LSUIElement = 1) activates itself. It activates itself so that it can bring its window to the front.
The issue occurs if you follow the following steps: 1. Open a normal application, say "System Preferences" 2. Cause my menu extra to activate. My menu extra calls "[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES]" then immediately shows a window. 3. While the menu extra's window is focused, click on the menus on the application opened in Step 1. The "Window" menu's items are not all disabled, which seems to be an error. 4. Switch to the normal application. Some of the menu items are no longer disabled, like they should be. (In "System Preferences" case, the "Back" and "Forward" items should be disabled). If you clicked the normal application's menu before Step 2, the "Window" menu's items in Step 3 are all disabled, and in Step 4, the menu items are correctly disabled. If Step 2 is omitted, and the user manually activates my menu extra, this behaviour also does not occur. This was on 10.5.7. I have also tried activating using SetFrontProcess in Step 2 and it has the same issues. Does anyone know or have any tips on how to avoid this issue? (I want to activate because I want the menu extra's newly-created window to be on top. It does not actually need to be activated.)
