Problem Description

In the current master, when navigating through the menus a blank entry is shown

Note: Maybe this is being caused by the changes in PR #14619 . Probably the space is the initial 'empty' action to enable the addition of the menu to the menuBar on Mac since the menus are populated dynamically in the aboutToShow signal

Seems like this happens only for non-migrated menus (currently only Views and Help are migrated).

@ccordoba12 should I add handling for non-migrated and migrated menus to prevent this (basically some kind of flag when creating the menu to indicate if the initial action is needed or not) or just wait to have all the menus migrated?

Yes, please do that so we can have a uniform look and feel for menus until all of them are migrated.
