Type: Bug
Severity: Medium. Duplicate native Edit entries expose disabled defaults alongside the working custom actions and can shadow shortcuts.
Related: #556, #3285
What
The running macOS application's Edit menu contains disabled standard Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, and Select All entries, followed by a second custom set. Cmd+A on a focused disposable file produced no selection or mode change.
The duplicate entries were observed through the live accessibility tree. The installed application's exact revision was not established; the current source independently contains the incorrect command-group placement.
Why
Users should find one action for each standard editing operation, with the same behavior whether they click the menu or press its shortcut. Disabled duplicates make the menu misleading and leave shortcut ownership ambiguous.
