PM6 on Mac - not functioning after using slideshow, options greyed out

[00000000000]

PM build 6738 (5753775) - Mac OS 13.2.1

Often after running a slideshow, switching to finder (e.g. to copy a file) and returning to the PM contact sheet, most menu options become greyed out.
(I can't take a screenshot while dropping down a menu)
The cursor initially disappears, but returns after clicking around.

Right clicking in the navigator - all options greyed out

The Photo Mechanic menu allows only "Services" - I have to force quit the app.
The File menu allows only "Open Recent", "Close Window", "Page Setup".
The Help menu allows only "Licensing"
etc

Command-L does not open the slideshow options; shift-command-L does not run the slideshow.

This previous post looks like the same issue: http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=14906

Are you exiting the slideshow before you switch to the Finder or are you switching to the Finder while the slideshow continues to run?

Doing either has caused this issue

Sounds like the Slideshow hasn't quit.  It runs a modal event loop and that would explain the disabled menu items.  Perhaps it is running on another space that you can't see?  Have you tried switching spaces?

I'm not using Spaces.
I can press ESC to return to the contact sheet and still have this problem.
