Hi, found a behavior on my machine I find a little strange. I have googled for it and found no mention by anyone. Ill just post steps serving as description:
1. Have any window open in front you. Finder or any window to go in/out of focus.
1a optional Turn on the "Display seconds" in clock preferences.
2. Right click on the notifications icon (top menu, far right). Note the time on the top menu when you do.
3. Go back to the window, click on its menu bar (this step may not be really needed but do it anyways I guess).
*note here the notification menu icon should stay highlighted like its been clicked*
4. Now wait... Does your clock stop updating? It will freeze from updating until you click on notifications, the time printed on the menu bar itself. You can use apps, switch between other windows, use spotlight. Note the two screenshots I was able to take with snapndrag all while frozen. I wrote this whole post with my time frozen on the menu. You can use system preferences to see the system time still advancing while the menu is frozen.
Im not sure if you call this a bug but must definitely be some bad "clunky UI behavior" allowing an accidental misclick to really confuse some people. Or just the general idea "User should not be able to freeze menu clock so easily... at all?" Im using a macbook pro with a busted display as a desktop with external monitor & peripherals. I would be curious if anyone can reproduce or seen this b4???
