macos client can't open More menu to enter custom DNS overrides #47
Description
Describe the Bug
I installed macos pangolin client on macbook air and it connect fine. But when i try to set custom DNS overrides clicking More on the Pangolin menu doesn't do anything. Doesn't bring up the settings/preferences like it does on a Windows client.
Is there a way to force DNS overrides via json on other config file on a mac since the More menu item doesn't open?
Or even better is there a way to set it globally on the server side for every client that connect ?
Environment
- OS Type & Version: (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04) Ubuntu 22.04
- Pangolin Version: latest
- Gerbil Version: latest
- Traefik Version: latest
- Newt Version: latest
- Olm Version: (if applicable)
To Reproduce
Right click on the macos Pangolin client in tray hit More. Doesn't bring up preferences window.
Expected Behavior
Opens pref window where DNS overrides can be set

it's just menu where when i hit More option nothing is happening to enter the DNS overrides settings.
Is there a way to edit a config file vs doing it from the gui?

The more option isnt a clickable option, it should be a dropdown menu.
Ill dig into the code 🤷🏻 but are you remote desktoping in (I can see the privacy screen share so just a hunch)? maybe the software isnt showing the context menus? as its odd none of the dropdown menus are showing the

yes there's no "arrow" In the More menu item for the sub menu to appear. I uninstalled the client, re-downloaded, reinstalled and it still the same.
i just tried it on the another mac (latest Sequoia macos) and More > Preferences is available and accessible. Must be an isolated issue to that macbook air. i'll keep digging. thank you.

So you don't have a more > preferences?
