I'm sorry about this.  Butler has been working great since I started using 
it several years ago then I installed the new os update and had the 
problem.  I tried quitting & restarting Butler, messed with the a couple 
other things that I read in your forum that helped other people with Butler 
"hanging" but kept having the problem.  Then I gave up, downloaded XMenu 
from the app store, tried it and found out it wasn't as nice as Butler.  I 
put my computer to sleep and started it up the next day intending to 
duplicate my menu setup from Butler to XMenu when I noticed Butler was once 
again working properly.  
I should have waited before posting, but I guess I rely on Butler a little 
too much (even though I only use the menu portion of it).  I hadn't 
installed anything other than the os update and the other software I've 
been using is the usual stuff (Xcode, safari, mail, etc.), so I'm thinking 
that maybe the system update left some trash somewhere.  Anyway, problem 
has mysteriously appeared & disappeared.  If this is any indication, I'm 
going to be seriously depressed when it really does break with a major os 
update.  Great program, well worth the cost.  Many thanks for making it and 
thereby making my excess of applications easily accessible.

Brian

We've had no similar reports, and it's working fine for myself and Peter (our founder/programmer) on multiple Macs, so we'll have to figure out why you're having issues.

Updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 a few days ago and Butler's system menu bar 
items started to temporarily hang when clicked on or moused over.  I didn't 
have the problem with OS X 10.10.2.  I get the spinning mouse pointer for 
over a minute or two (only the 2 Butler menu items are affected, my other 
menu items like dropbox & adobe work fine, even after Butler starts the 
mouse pointer spinning).  If it was caused by clicking on the menu, after 
at about 2 minutes, the menu appears and items can be selected as usual and 
selected apps start up without a problem.  However, if I bring up Butler's 
preferences, the same thing happens after selecting any tab or clicking on 
any button.  It takes around 2 minutes before the selection is made or 
action is performed.  It happens every time I select the menu and with 
every tab selection or button click within Butler's preference window. 
 Everything works, but there is a 1-2 minute delay before it works.
