Bug Fixes

Items not showing on large screens when activated from Bartender Bar or Search

If the user had a very wide screen, items would not be shown when activating them from Bartender Bar, HotKey or Search, this has been fixed.

Activate on click in menu bar hiding again on mouse button release

If the user did a slow click on the menu bar and had autohide enabled, the hidden items would hide again when releasing the mouse button. This has been fixed.

Items not placed correctly on Notched MacBook Pros

On MacBook Pros with a notch, macOS will sometime increase the spacing between items so they fill the space between the screen edge and the notch, this could cause Bartender to place items incorrectly, this has been fixed.

Fix for multiple displays without seperate spaces on macOS Monterey

The logic for this has changed slightly in macOS Monterey, Bartender should now work better with this setup.
