Cannot search in menubar on macOS after upgrade to 5.3.1

Develop Artists Feedback & Testing
1

Common mac applications allow user to search items in menubar via help → search.

Early version of Krita (such as 5.2) supported this functionality too. It seems to be broken by recent updates.

Environment: arm64 macOS 26.4.1

5.3.1 menu search functionality is provided by the OS so long there is an application menu. I just tested on 5.3.1 and it works normally, this is under Tahoe 26.4
