incidentally i noticed the same behaviour today, but found it rather funny (macOS 10.14.6) probably because i am old and grew up with windows not in focus not doing anything.
since on macOS other apps behave mostly differently (the non focus window accepts control-click), i suspect its a tcl/tk issue. but what do i know? cheers hans > Am 24.04.2021 um 12:48 schrieb Peter P. <[email protected]>: > > Hi list, > > on OS X and Linux the context menu of a patch behaves differentely > whether the window is focussed (foreground) or not. > > Selecting "Help..." for an object in an unfocussed window will open the > introduction help patch regardless, selecting "Open" for a subpatch or > abstraction will silently fail.
