observe menu bar status

[castdrian]

so since the whole scene status doesn't work with the menubar, I really need a way to detect if the menubar menu is open or not since I need to periodically refresh some data based on that state, binding it to a bool to open it programmatically unfortunately doesn't affect the bool when the menu is opened manually :(

Are you using a menu-based MenuBarExtra or window-based?

There is a limitation where the SwiftUI runloop is suspended when a traditional menu is open so the Bool binding may not update. That's a known issue that's documented in the README and in the demo project. Not sure if there's a workaround - Apple needs to address that issue but who knows if or when they will.

eh don't worry about it, I settled with just refreshing the data in an interval instead
