As the title says. Focus only occurs following a switch to another app and back again. Related info: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48829

Expected behavior Clickable menubar without switching out app

To reproduce Compile and run bitcoin-qt in terminal. The issue in constantly reproduced.

Not a bug. That's just how OS X is.

Anyway, applications don't fully get focus if they are opened from the terminal. To get full focus, it needs to be a bundle and opened from Finder.

I think this issue could be closed, no?

Agree, if Qt upstream don't regard it as a bug "because it's how MacOS is", there's nothing we can do, either.
