MacOS: Top-menu dropdown's stop working when Speckle loads

[AlanRynne]

Description

This issue is related to the hijacking of the App menu name issue, it may even be the same root cause.

Our Speckle DUI window is somehow hijacking the menu-bar of Rhino somewhere between calling Start() and when CreateOrFocusSpeckle() is called.

Someone at Avalonia also suggested in the past that we use SetupWithoutStarting() instead of Start(), but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

This leads to the top-menu's not displaying the dropdown when clicked.

This doesn't seem to affect Rhino at all, all commands and buttons in the main rhino window work.

How to reproduce

In order to reproduce the issue:

1. Install latest Speckle Rhino for Mac
2. Start Rhino
3. You'll see the Rhinoceros menu is now actually called "Speckle". Click it to open it.
4. Now start Speckle by writing "Speckle" in the Rhino command line.

Once the window opens:

• The app menu is back to being named Rhinoceros
• None of the other top-menu's work.

How to get the menus to work

To get the menus to work, you just need to open any of the top menus before starting Speckle:

This isn't a zero affect other than UI. The speckle for rhino plug-in leaves a process running that causes a crash on quit. Grasshopper is not affected.

Latest version seems to have fixed the "locked up menus" problem.

The crash on exit persists, and Avalonia people are looking into it, but they seem unrelated.
