Description

When switching from a random Mac application to a Q guest window the menu bar stays as before, i.e. does not show the Q menu bar.

This is related to #8.

This is because of the Architekure of the Q app: Q Control is a separate program that controlls guests (which are seapare programs... why? because QEMU is not threadsafe) So we use a lot of tricks to suggest the user it's one monolitic program.

I guess we can fix the toolbar by activating Q Control first, then reactivate the guest.

Yeah, I understood and appreciate that, which is why I referenced #8 (which calls to unify the UI in one app sometime in the future).

My use case is that while the guest is doing something I might use e.g. Safari and later click on the guest window to activate it again - this has the effect described above. Your suggested workaround sounds good.
