Description

It looks like some great work done here, but there are some problems:

  1. On installing plug-ins xbar often gets stuck (the box at the top has a spinner in it) and I have to quit it and restart.

  2. Plug-in menu items that should refresh with a change in situation, such External IP country flag with the kind of internet connection, don't always do so, especially if the computer has been sleeping in between times. Once a menu item gets stuck in the wrong state you have to quit xbar.

  3. Menu items can be Command-dragged to go in between other menu items, but always return to the left when refreshed. I can understand this may be impossible to change.

  4. If someone could create a plug-in that worked to show the state of ProtonVPN it would be much appreciated!

Many thanks,

Ray

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by separating and reproducing the installation spinner, stale refresh after sleep, and menu reordering reports; the issue also contains a separate ProtonVPN plugin request, so completion criteria and scope need agreement before implementation.
