Understood. I DON’t get the behavior your seeing where the menu closes. Perhaps because I’m calling it from a different point in code. I am calling [NSApplication activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES] in my listener/observer to the mouseDown action.

I made a test MenuBarApp. To get the main menu of the app to not show I had to hide the running app. But when the app is hidden, the text field in the menu of a status bar item will not accept responder events.

Perhaps you should try using a text field in a popover like spotlight search.
