Description
I have an app with a menu bar item (NSStatusItem), and when the menu bar item is clicked, I show the main app window and activate the app. However, when the user is in a fullscreen space for a different app, and they click the menu bar item for my app, my app activates, but then the menu bar immediately disappears. This is not the desired behavior and I get weekly complaints from users about this. The menu bar should not hide in this case.
Reproduce:
- Run the attached project.
- Enter fullscreen in an app.
- Click the “Click Me” menu bar item.
- Notice how the menu bar disappears.
You can also see this behavior in live apps on the App Store:
