Menu Bar cog keeps appearing and disappearing – annoying

So, since the last update, I now get this menu bar cog appearing and disappearing constantly when I open Illustrator. It does not appear when CC is open, just when Illustrator is running. Highly annoying.

It doesn’t stay up long enough to click on it

Is there any way to disable it?

Turns out it’s actually the ScriptMonitor icon which can be disabled in the MacOS System Menu Bar preferences – was not aware that was a thing!

Did you try to reinstall Illustrator?

It’s actually to do with TypeFace Autoactivation – seems to be forcing Illustrator to check syncing every few seconds. Only happens in Illustrator, nothing else.
Waiting on a respince from TypeFace devs to see if there’s a fix their end (other than disabling autoactivation).

I can’t remember ever seeing it. Which functionality does it offer when you click on it?

As I stated in my post – it doesn’t stay up long enough to click on it – so no idea

It’ll be there for like 2 seconds then it’s gone, reappears, goes – constantly

Ah, OK, sorry. Do you have anything installed that alters the menu bar? Takes out things? How large is the monitor? Is there still space in the menu bar when Illustrator is open?
