update1:

    statusItem =   NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength:NSStatusItem.squareLength)

    menuBarMenuIcon = (statusItem?.button)!; menuBarMenuIcon.image = NSImage(named: "MenuBarButton"); menuBarMenuIcon.action = #selector(menuBarMenuClicked); menuBarMenuIcon.sendAction(on:    [.leftMouseUp,.rightMouseUp])

this is how i assign the menu

update 2:

this worked statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength:NSStatusItem.squareLength) statusItem?.menu = menuBarIconMenu

Answer 1

In a previous version of one of my apps, I also opened the menu manually by calling the popup function and experience similiar problems. How did you assign the NSMenu? I would suggest that you assign your NSMenu to the menu property of the NSStatusItem. Then you do not have to add code manually to open the menu. DO you have a custom NSView instance assigned to your NSStatusItem?

private let statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)

func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification)
{
    self.statusItem.menu = self.createMenu()
}

private func createMenu() -> NSMenu
{
    // Close
    let menu = NSMenu()
    menu.addItem(NSMenuItem(title: "Quit", action: #selector(self.quit), keyEquivalent: "q"))

    return menu
}
