Re: Modal window and 'hanging' menu

From the docs for runModalForWindow:

"Use this method in cases where you do not need to do any additional 
background processing while the modal loop runs. This method consumes 
only enough CPU time to process events and dispatch them to the action 
methods associated with the modal window. If you want to perform 
additional background processing, use runModalSession: together with 
an NSModalSession object instead."

I guess closing the menu counts as background processing, so the 
solution would seem to lie in not handling your UI this way.
