Describe the bug:
When Disable -> Enable a Floating Menu, the Floating Menu only becomes visible once BTT is not in focus or Toggle Menu Visibility Now is toggled.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new Floating Menu in BetterTouchTool.
Rename the Floating Menu to FLOATING_MENU.
Disable FLOATING_MENU.
Enable FLOATING_MENU again.
- Expected Behavior: FLOATING_MENU should be visible immediately on the screen.
- Observed Behavior: FLOATING_MENU does not appear on the screen.
Click inside another application window, such as Sublime Text.
- Unexpected Behavior: FLOATING_MENU becomes visible only after focusing on another app window.

And now it works again

This bug is hard to reproduce consistently, but I experience it often.

yes, I will fix that soon, I have also encountered it multiple times

I hope this is resolved in 4.831!

Hi @Andreas_Hegenberg, I'm coming back to you after some thorough QAing!

I wouldn't say the latest alpha fixed the bug, but the behavior is now different. I hope this screen recording helps!

Also, I mentioned in the original post that I'm running the MacOS Developer Beta – maybe this is relevant for this behavior.
