I think, it counts.

With current behaviour I have no choice. I have to use non modal
windows, because modal loop have lost sense. In OPENSTEP 4.2 it is on my
own decision.  That is core of problem. 

Problem probably can be solved by sending setWorksModal:NO to app-menu
panel, but it is necessary to seek through [NSApp windows] -list (or
there is another way to acquire id of menu panel ???).
