show menu and send shortcut-string does not work - probably because menu creates its own thread? Any idea - thanks!

When a script displays a menu (usually in response to the user right-clicking the tray icon or pulling down a menu from a menu bar), it is essentially in a paused state during that time. Not even timers will run.

This was done to prevent the menu from behaving sluggishly and other side-effects, but there is an item on the to-do list to look into having an option to avoid this behavior so that the menu can be manipulated in real time.

In the meantime, you might be able to work around this limitation by having a second script manipulate the menus of the first.
