Here's a patch which fixes this problem. It doesn't seem very
satisfactory - basically just the last hunk -- in the targetForAction:
method of NSApplication, we just tell the sender (usually [NSMenu
-update]), that there is no target for any selector when a modal dialog
is up. This disables most menu items. We could implement
validateMenuItem: in NSApplication, but an application could easily
subclass NSApplication and override this method (Gorm, in fact, does this).
I would appreciate it if someone could look at it and make any suggestions.
