Cannot access menus on Mac

In order to import a database, I need to have access to the File menu. However, the menu bar is unavailable on Mac.

Crossover 11.0.2
Keepass 2.18

I haven't tried this as I have installed the latest Crossover, but a similar problem with another program where the entire screen appeared occupied was solved by simply moving the mouse to the very top of the screen and lingering a moment and a menu dropped down. Try that and let us know.

I have the identical problem, but while using Debian with Xfce. The menu bar is non-existent, and I cannot right-click entries.

Yes, I can confirm this too.

OS X 10.7.3
Crossover 11.0.3.26035
KeePass 2.18

The icon-based toolbar is visible, meaning I can open databases via it, but there is no text-based menu (should appear above it) and right-clicking on an actual entry doesn't work (although right-clicking on a group does!).

I'm going to try to put some time into this one as KeePass is an essential tool for me on the Mac. Incidentally, it works much better under CrossOver than it does with MONO. With MONO passwords wouldn't copy to the clipboard, making it almost useless for me, and MONO kept loosing characters if I typed things in too quickly (i.e. my passphrase). Running under CrossOver at least gives me a working program.

I've tried the latest nightly build (12.0.0.26143) and various manual install steps with different bottle settings and .NET versions with the same result -- menu is not visible. I'm going to clean out my CrossOver install and go back to the stable version to see if the older versions of KeePass are broken in the same way. Looking at some of the screenshots posted with old versions (both OS and KeePass) there are some that do show the menu.

So you are able to start the program - but the menu in the program (data, edit etc.) isn't visible?
Damn - I don't have a mac or anything like that to test it.
Don't know why it happens.
On linux everything works perfect.

Is this just an error with the Version 2.18 or does it happen with the older versions too? Can also downgrade the crosstie =)

Works here, the menu bar is visible and accessible.

CrossOver 11.3.1
KeePass 2.20.1
MacOS X 10.7.5 (Lion)

Still, right clicking on an entry doesn't work, though.
