Filter menu becomes inactive

I’m running Mac OS Golden Gate and Photoshop 27.11.0 (though the same issue occurs when using the latest Photoshop beta).

The Filter menu will become inactive at random times. The menu item appears slightly darker than the rest of the menus (which work fine), but clicking on the Filter menu does not result in getting a drop-down. The options aren’t greyed out. They simply don’t appear at all. This may be an Mac OS issue, since the problem began when I installed Golden Gate.

The problem doesn’t result in losing work. All other menus drop down properly, I can save what I’m working on, quit Photoshop, restart it, and the Filter menu works fine again. I can’t determine if a specific action causes the problem, but I do access the Camera Raw filter regularly, so that’s when I discover the menu stopped working.
