[PyQt] Issue with menubar on MacOS X 10.9 and 10.10

[Thomas Robitaille]

Hi Florian,

I have not tried Qt5, but for now using Qt5 is not an option for the
package I am developing (but I will check if the issue happens
anyway).

I just did some tests using Qt4 directly without PyQt4 and I cannot
replicate the issue. The C++ code I used is:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QMainWindow>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMainWindow *window = new QMainWindow;

  QMenuBar *menubar = window->menuBar();
  menubar->addMenu("&File");

  window->show();
  window->raise();
  return app.exec();
}

Basically, whether I compile this on MacOS X 10.10 or compile it on
MacOS X 10.8 and transfer it to the MacOS X 10.10 machine, I do *not*
see the issue.

This suggests that this is instead a bug with PyQt4 as opposed to Qt4
itself. Does anyone know what this could be due to?

Thanks,
Tom
