Description

Reproduced with the example app, menubar from git checkout (a6afe2e) on Mac OS X 10.10.5.

The window does not always open or close when the icon in the menu bar is clicked. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 clicks before the window responds. I also noticed that the icon doesn't stay highlighted when the window is open, where other menu bar apps keep the icon highlighted.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the example app and the menubar checkout at a6afe2e on Mac OS X 10.10.5, focusing on repeated menu-bar icon clicks. Trace the existing window toggle and icon-state handling from the example app. Done means the window reliably opens and closes and the icon remains highlighted while it is open.
