[Bug]: Cannot toggle menubar or access Ice menu on non-main display

Description

When using multiple displays, clicking in the empty part of the menubar to toggle the hidden section only works on the main display; on the other displays nothing happens.

The same happens when right-clicking: the menu only appears when using the main display.

This might be related to the way macOS assigns the displays to ports: on my Mac Studio, I have the display on the left connected to HDMI, and the display on the right connected via a USB-C – DisplayPort dongle. This seems to cause the display on the left to have negative x-coordinates, which confuses some application.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up macOS with multiple displays
2. Physically arrange the displays so that the left-hand display has negative x-coordinates
3. In the Displays settings, drag that display to be to the left of the other one
4. Make the right-hand display the main display
5. Launch Ice
6. Try clicking or right-clicking in the empty space in the menu bar on the left-hand screen

Hi there!

I encounter the same exact issue with 2 external displays connected to a MacBook Pro via a thunderbolt dock. Ice only reacts as expected on the MacBook Pro display, nothing happens on neither of the two external displays when the menu bar is hovered or clicked.

Ice Version 0.8.0

macOS Version macOS 14.5 (23F79)

1. One of the external displays. Same behavior is observed on the second external display.

2. Displays setup in macOS system settings.

This is a bug in 0.8.0. It has been fixed on main. I'll be putting out a new release soon with the fix.

@jordanbaird Thanks — I've just installed 0.9.0 and it's still not quite right.

After launching Ice, clicking the secondary display's menubar doesn't unhide the hidden items. If I unhide them from the main display's menubar and then re-hide them from that display, I can now unhide the hidden items by clicking the secondary display's menubar, but hiding still only works from the main display.

Right-clicking the Ice icon on the secondary display works consistently, but it's a bit of a pain :)

@jordanbaird I also encountered the same issue. 0.9.0 doesn't seem to solve the issue yet.
