Menu bar item not movable

Some menu bar items cannot be moved by Bartender. This is because the app that owns the menu bar item prevents it from being command+dragged.

Testing

To test if an app is preventing Bartender from moving its menu bar item:

  1. Quit Bartender
  2. Try command+dragging the menu bar item yourself
  3. If you can't move it, the app is preventing the move — not Bartender

For developers

If you are a developer and your app's menu bar item cannot be moved, please check that you are not overriding sendEvent: in a way that prevents command+drag operations.
