somoma app menus not working
Since just updating to Sonoma 14.0 from 13.4 none of my app menus work properly. When you click once on a menu title it doesn't open. Click again and it does but, although you can mouse over, nothing is selected and btw the keyboard shortcuts are greyed out. Also from that point you cannot close a menu dropdown, but navigating to another menu title drops down that menu instead. Consequently you can't quit the app from the menu but command-q does work. For Finder you have to relaunch after option-command-escape. You can only get at system preferences via the control centre dropdown (e.g. wifi preferences) and for rebooting the power button seems the only option (I have rebooted). Menus to the right of the notch, apple and not, seem to work OK. The same problem occurs in safe mode, but in an alternative account everything seems to work OK. I have tried deleting the Finder ~/Library plist file, but no effect.
In other respects everything seems to be working OK, if you use keyboard shortcuts. Opening and navigating inside windows, using Mail and browsers, printing, etc.
This seems to be a general problem with one account on the device (M1 MBP). I wonder what else to try, without reinstalling the complete machine from scratch?
