Max 8 submenus open & then disappear
Eg - using the find function in an unlocked patcher window. The results say 0 matches (12 subpatchers have matches). I click on the bit in brackets - the menu appears and almost immediately disappears. Same issue with attrui.
Anyone else?
Mac OSX High Sierra. Max 8.
Edit. Same with umenu (though sometimes it seems to work properly). And I get the same problem in the umenu help file. (So it's not something in the large patch made in Max 7 that I'm transferring to Max 8)
I have experienced this problem with many max application sub menus on El Capitan since Max 7. Haven't seen this on umenu, however. Figured I'd report it since this sounds pretty similar
I have this problem too, did anyone manage to solve it?
in Max 8 for all of the following the menu disappears in a flash...
for instance on the icons in the toolbar, or in particular inside bach.score and bach.roll objects ( pretty complex interfaces where contextual menus are vital, which is very annoying at the moment because I use bach every day)
in Max 7 everything is fine, with right clicking (two fingers on trackpad)
in the following Max 8 gif : when the contextual menu stays in place, it's because I hold CTRL+ click, but this alternative is not possible with bach
I am running Max 8.0.3 on Sierra 10.12.6, on a Macbook Pro mid-2014
thanks in advance for getting back to me on this
Best,
Julien
Hi Julien,
would you you mind getting onto support at cycling? I’ve had a long-standing report with them about this, and though it seems to be marginally better in the latest release of 8, it’s still bad enough to make it not worth my while using Max8 at all. It’s really annoying.
Hi David,
Sure , i'll write to them, thank you !
It's so weird, sometimes like an hour ago it fixes itself for a little while and then comes back to "normal" and disappears again for most of the time...

Hi again David,
I 'm in touch with Cory from support, I sent him my system report, we'll see what he finds...
I noticed the problem is gone when I switch to another session on my Mac... Would you have a little time so we can check what software or extensions we might have in common that could create this problem? I don't see many other options...
Won't be 100% easy since my Mac is in French, and also it's a real mess, but maybe we can figure something out... My email is mail [at] julienvincenot.com, we can start from there.
Cheers,
J.
Hi Julien,
sure thing. I’m running the last day of a workshop today, and will probably take tomorrow to recover (!), but either Sunday or Monday I will email you and get started on that.
Same problem for me its driving me insane
Currently having this problem in maxforlive using Max 9 .
