Model: Macbook Pro 14" 2021 M1 (the one with a notch)  
OS: macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 (latest as of post date)

Issue:  
When playing any video in Full Screen (not maximized window, green button on mac) the menu bar changes to black but does not hide. It remains visible during playback. The UI and the mouse pointer is correctly hidden.

Expected behaviour:  
VLC, iinaa, webbrowsers hide the menu bar while in full screen. I expect this from Plex as well.

_Here the Menu Bar is visible_

The Plex app likely calls the `NSApplicationPresentationOptions` with the `NSApplication.shared.presentationOptions` property. With the `.hideMenuBar` option set to true. But I can’t figure out why this doesn’t work for some users.

Any way to trouble shoot this and fix it?
