Menu bar disappears when applications quit

Hello everyone,


I have this issue on my brand New iMac 27 (core i5 / Fusion drive) since it's out of the box : each Time i quit any application, the menu bar disappears and i have to click on the desktop to make it back.


Any clue anyone?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I just got a 27" Core i5 with the Fusion Drive and it was doing the same thing - Menu Bar would disappear from screen when I quit any application.


I called Apple, their guy (nice guy, btw) told me to do the following:

- power off/shut down the Mac

- unplug the power cord

- press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds

- plug in the power cord

- restart


I did this and the problem was resolved. He said this procedure resets the System Management Controller.


It worked for me - hope it works for you and others who experience this.
