When the app reaches this stage, for some reason the main (top) stack - i’ve checked that it really is the topStack - doesn’t have the focus and its menus don’t work. I have to click on the window for focus to return to the stack. This is happening on LC7 rc3 on a Mac with Yosemite, and I am pretty sure it’s happening on earlier versions of Mac OSX.

Don't know how or why this is happening, but here's one thing to try. After the window is opened, lock the screen, select after the text of a field in the topstack, then select empty.
