Description Thomas Singer CLA 2011-07-22 09:54:43 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.7.0.v3735b

See steps to reproduce. The shell-less (display's) menubar must only be shown if no other application window is visible! When showing a parent-modal dialog, the menubar of the parent frame must remain visible and accessible. If an application-modal dialog is shown instead, the menubar must not be accessible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run the attached example on OS X 10.6 or 10.7
=> the shell-less menu bar with the "Window" menu is shown
2. select "Window|New Window"
=> a new shell opens with its own menu containing a "File" menu
3. select "File|Show Parent-Model Dialog"
=> the dialog is shown and the shell-less menu bar allowing to open new shells

Please increase the priority of this bug. It allows the user the create an inconsistent application state easily, but it is hard to prevent from our side.
Comment 4 Thomas Singer CLA 2011-08-16 06:48:55 EDT 
What work-around you are suggesting?

The application menu bar is shown here because the new Shell - dialogShell doesn't have a menu bar set to it. It looks like it is the correct behavior.

I don't know any native OS X application which shows the application menu while showing a modal dialog. Do you know one?
Comment 7 Thomas Singer CLA 2011-08-29 14:51:04 EDT 
How I can work around the current behavior? I need to have the parent shell menu shown when a parent modal dialog is displayed.
Comment 8 Thomas Singer CLA 2012-11-08 04:01:15 EST 
Seems to be as-designed.
