Description

Rapidly clicking menubar icon does nothing, but I would expect it to open and close the app window

Steps to Reproduce the Problem
  1. Launch an instance of a menubar app, the hello-world example will do
  2. Rapidly click the menubar icon
Expected Behaviour

The app's window repeatedly appears and disappears when the icon is clicked

Actual Behaviour

The window toggles state and then nothing happens
