    Finally; as far as I know that was reported before more than 2 years (might be more). Why so much time to such a simple change? 🤦 Just instead of dynamic registration name (something like 'dropbox-client-XXXX', where XXXX is current process id - as it was before), a fixed to be used - 'dropbox-client-PID' currently - PID is as is, it isn't changing/replacing (why is it at all 🤷). It wasn't affecting only Mac users. It was known issue for so long with lot of user proposals pointing the same fix...

    Lets hope will be reasons to congratulate your work about fixes related to popup menu instability - least twice (or maybe more) older reports are on the forum.

    Thank you to Chat Support agent WILLIAM, who just spent an hour with me holding my hand while he figured out that I needed to update by dropbox to fix some things.  Then, I accidentally closed the chat!  He was so nice and so patient.  Five Star Customer Service!!
