In v11, I have a single menu bar assigned to all forms in the database  

(Menu Bar 1) and it's active.

On OS X, when I select a menu item with the mouse, it gets executed,  

but the menu title stays highlighted. The method assigned to each menu  

item starts a new process using "New Process" command. The first thing  

I do in the new process is SET MENU BAR(1;Current Process).

I've tried calling SET MENU BAR(1) in the process that the menu item  

is selected, but it's not helping.

Any ideas on how to force the menu title to de-highlight?

it's a bug  - we have the same issue under little bit different
conditions.

cheers,

Are you calling the New Process command from within the method  

called by the menu item?

Yes.

If so you may want to try selecting the new process option on the  

Menu set up pane.

It may be that the menu remains highlighted until the method called  

is completed.

If this method sets up a new process that runs concurrently, the  

menu may think it is still in use.

Just a thought...

I just ran a test and, sure enough, simply checking the property for  

the menu item does indeed solve it.

A bit of a kludge or workaround, IMO, but much better than the  

highlighted menu item sticking around.

I don't know why there should be a difference like this, but I'll take  

what I can get.

Thanks, Steve.
