In itself, this sounds very good, but I can't use this app at the moment. When I open the menu item, it only says "Window Dialog" and I can't navigate it. After a few seconds, the window closes again and I am in the Finder. If I then press VoiceOver+M twice again to get into the menus, I only come back to this empty dialog, which closes immediately and I can neither enter the menu itself, nor can I navigate through my other menus. I'm stuck in a dead end.

The window does not show up in the list, and the app also does not appear in the running apps list.

I was confused by VoiceOver saying "status menu, group." I thought I had to interact with the group, but after a restart I realized that a simple VO+Spacebar was sufficient.
