Yes, this is an every increasingly annoying bug. I filed a similar issue (#9402554) and based on the duplicate bug # referenced, it appears it has been around a while.
I've tried most of the solutions offered by developers before (from AppleScripts to setting focus on the dock) and none have worked for me. I then took a very inelegant approach to this: Launch a new instance of same app (you could add a special arg to indicate launch as foreground app). Then quit the old agent. In applicationWillFinishLaunching: if your arg is there, call TransformProcessType(). It seems that applicationWillFinishLaunching: is early enough in the launch that the menubar will update properly when you transform the process type. If you needed to keep data, you could put it up on a private NSPasteboard and grab it again. This has been the most reliable way of converting an agent to a foreground app that I've found. But, IMHO, it is also the ugliest approach. I really hope Apple just fixes this issue once and for all. Mark On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 11:01 AM, Jerry Krinock <je...@ieee.org> wrote: > Thank you, Jim.
