That's right. On Mac, the menu is at the top of the screen, separate from any window. So when a dialog -- any dialog -- has focus, the menu is still there, able to be selected. But, of course, we don't want the user to actually be able to select menu options, so any menu item that is supposed to affect the buffer (as opposed to menu items like File > Open or LyX > Preferences that don't affect the current buffer) should be greyed out. >> When I open the document settings dialog in LyX 2.0.0 the menu >> is fully functionally - on Mac and on Linux (Gnome Desktop). >> When I change some document setting and do not apply - I have >> the same menu state. >> >> Perhaps it is about a violation of Apples HIG "only"? >> Like document settings should be a sheet (document modal) dialog? > > I changed some of the "typical" Apple things after discussion with > Bennett.

The issue with 1720 is independent of whether we use sheets or not. BH
