+### Fixed
+
+- Added continuous menu-bar discovery with startup retries, launch/termination notifications, and immediate refresh when the overflow panel opens.
+- Added stable icon fallbacks and background capture so missing or blank screenshots no longer block layout or show empty cells.
+- Made normal activation use cached Accessibility Press or a direct target-process click; temporary WindowServer moves are now only a fallback.
+- Removed the delayed rehide-on-next-mouse-up race that could interfere with dragging another application's window or corrupt Hover state.
+- Coalesced refresh/capture/layout work and shortened move verification to avoid multi-second activation delays.
+- Prevented regular application menus from being mistaken for status-bar controls.

-# OverflowBar 1.0.7

-OverflowBar 1.0.7 fixes a menu bar hover-state issue caused by unnecessary pointer warps after OverflowBar moves or activates an item.
+OverflowBar 1.0.8 makes menu-bar discovery and activation substantially faster and more resilient.
 
 ## Fixed
 
-- OverflowBar no longer forces the pointer back to its current location after moving or activating a menu bar item, so macOS and other apps retain the correct Hover state.
+- New and late-starting status items are discovered automatically, including after login launch.
+- Normal activation uses Accessibility Press or a direct target-process click, avoiding the old multi-second synthetic drag path.
+- Temporary moves no longer wait for the next unrelated mouse-up, preventing window-drag and Hover races.
+- Blank captures fall back to application or symbol icons while real screenshots are filled in asynchronously.
