[PyQt] [Bug] PyQt5 version 5.7.0 OS X.11.4 (El Capitan) MenuBar requires defocus + refocus of app to work

[Maxwell Grady]

(realized I didn't hit reply all)
To clarify, my code is not part of an app or app bundle and is just run
from the command line. The minimal working example to reproduce the bug
that I included is also run just from the command line and is not part of
an app nor app bundle.

Simply invoking " python pyqt5-testmenubar.py" from the command line will
run the code and show the bug.
