Menubar does not work until app unfocused and focused again on MacOSX

[Jenifer]

When the app is run from Qt creator or from command line the menu bar doesnt work on first launch of application. It works only when the application is unfocused and focused again. I am using Qt5.6.2 and MACOS 10.11 version. i am new to Qt and mac as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Jenifer Can you please say what exactly does not work? It is not shown? Does not react? ...?

[Jenifer]

MenuBar is visible but when i click on the menu item say File or Edit it doesnt respond. Once I unfocus the application like open different application and focus back to my application it starts responding.
