I have a timer that calls InvalWindowRect; during menu tracking this timer runs, but the window doesn't update because it doesn't seem to be getting kEventWindowUpdate events. Why is this?

Because the Menu Manager is running a nested event loop during menu tracking to track the mouse and keyboard, and kEventWindowUpdate is not one of the events that we pull from the event queue, or dispatch.

If your windows used compositing mode, you would automatically get requests to draw your views during menu tracking, however.
