Description Roland Peffer 2012-07-19 14:29:19 UTC 
in the poll functioning gtk-eventloop-quartz, the call to

  event = [NSApp nextEventMatchingMask: NSAnyEventMask
	                     untilDate: limit_date
	                        inMode: NSDefaultRunLoopMode
                               dequeue: YES];

blocks if a Menu (NSMenu) is active tracking. This is very bad for any application that for example plays a video.

I noticed this while working with clutter's osx backend ( what is indeed a copy of gtk's osx backend ).


I guess 3.5 will have the same problem. Just tested on 3.4.
