MacOS menu bars inaccessible after initial launch

Hi team! I've noticed that after PyMOL open source is launched, the menu bar is completely inaccessible, until I click away from the application and then click back onto it.

This behaviour doesn't seem to happen in the closed source version of PyMOL, and seems to happen regardless of how I open the application. This version of PyMOL was compiled natively using the setuptools script and is running on an M1 MacBook Pro (first generation).

Thank you

Thanks for reporting the issue. I've actually noticed the same behavior for a long time even with closed-source PyMOL and with an Intel processor. Unfortunately, we couldn't identify the cause of this slight annoyance. We'll continue to investigate.

This happens when the program is not launched as an actual macOS app executable, e.g. PyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/PyMOL

Unfortunately, the setuptools script doesn't build a .app package, so the only way to run in is from the binary executable. The problem also occurs when running the binary from an automator app.

I have the same issue. BTW, if I use open-source pymol from Homebrew, there is no such problem. I've met it only on conda-forge version.
