Issue Details

• Electron Version:
  • 11.2.0
• Operating System:
  • macOS10.14.6
• Last Known Working Electron version:
  • N/A

Expected Behavior

When using a Menu role of window it should show a list of BrowserWindows exactly the same as when using a role of windowMenu. This screenshot shows it correctly working with windowMenu.

Actual Behavior

When using a role of window, it simple displays a single submenu item labeled Window as seen in the picture below. You should instead see "Hello World!" listed 3 times.

To Reproduce

A very simple commit provided on the electron-quick-start: nkavian/electron-quick-start@78a244b

The example creates 3 windows and the relevant menu entries to show it works in windowMenu ("Window Menu 1") but broken with window ("Window Menu 2").

$ git clone git@github.com:nkavian/electron-quick-start.git
$ cd electron-quick-start
$ git checkout window-menu-bug
$ npm install
$ npm start

nb:role: 'window' is a mac-only feature so this test must be run on macOS

I might have a related problem.

When I'm starting the app in development mode I can cycle through the open windows by pressing [cmd]+[<].
When I'm building the app for MacOS and start the build the [cmd]+[<] key combination does not work anymore.

This worked before and stopped working at some point. Also, I tried to modify the menu to add all kinds of roles to it. It did not solve the problem.
