[Bug]: "Hide application menus when showing menu bar items" option doesn't work in some apps. about ice HOT 4 OPEN

Here is the screen recording with Bartender 5.0.49. As you can see, it works without any issues.
I think it's better to keep the issue open, maybe someone can find a solution for it.

@validatedev noted. I'll reopen the issue.

I suspect this is due to the new "cooperative" style of app switching in macOS 14. Ice hides an application's menus by activating itself to show its own empty menu. Prior to macOS 14, apps could force their activation without needing to consult any other process. Now, they essentially have to "ask" the currently active app if it wants to give up its active status. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's anything we can do about this, unless Apple decides they want to change this behavior.

I just want to say something about the issue. The problem does not happen with Bartender 5, so I think there should be a way to implement that.
