Describe the bug

When the UI Editor window appears, the left side of the macOS menu bar becomes non-functional/unresponsive.

The Apple menu and the app menu items (File, Edit, View, Window, etc.) stop responding correctly while the editor is open. The issue appears consistently when interacting with the editor window.

Expected behavior

The macOS menu bar should remain fully functional while the UI Editor is open.

The Apple menu and application menu items on the left side of the menu bar should respond normally and remain accessible at all times.

To Reproduce

  1. Open the application.
  2. Start a screen recording.
  3. Stop the screen recording.
  4. Wait for the UI Editor window to appear automatically.
  5. Attempt to interact with the left side of the macOS menu bar.
  6. Observe that the Apple menu and application menus (File, Edit, View, etc.) become unresponsive or stop working correctly.

In these screenshots, clicking the left side of the macOS menu bar works normally and the menu dropdowns appear correctly.

The Apple menu and application menus open as expected outside of the UI Editor window.
