Expected Behavior
- UI works normally
- The app exits normally
Current Behavior
- Most of the UI Elements, such as pop-up menus, settings windows, etc, not working.
DEMO: https://share.cleanshot.com/75XXRk4b - Application not responding when trying to close, hanging forever
Steps to Reproduce
- Open OBS
- Try to click UI elements
- Observe it not working
Anything else we should know?
At first, the only issue I had was the app hanging forever when trying to close it. A couple of days ago, however, all UI elements stopped working. This can be sometimes overcome by opening the "Settings" menu, which triggers other windows to show (behavior seen in the demo video I attached), but it does not work for popup menus, which means I cannot configure filters, etc.
I've previously been using MacOS Ventura when I started seeing this issue and thought that maybe updating to Sonoma would fix it, but unfortunately, this didn't help.
Maybe this is relevant, but I have a dual external monitor setup, however, the issue is reproducible even without plugging them in, with the native monitor.
I thought that the app not closing properly and the UI elements not working are related issues, because the first couple of times when I opened the app after updating to Sonoma, the issue was not there and the app was closing normally.
Hope that can be fixed, as I'm unable to modify any settings at the moment.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the OBS Studio log at https://obsproject.com/logs/uaJ2YojeqgU28mLl and reproducing the issue on macOS 14 with OBS 30.0.0 using the listed UI and close-operation steps. Done means popup menus and settings windows work normally and the application exits without hanging.
