2), like 1), might be a Mac-specific issue, but I guess not.
Normally the real reasons is, that you've moved some patch elements over the top or left border of the patcher window. Then Pd's coordinate system, which has (0,0) in the upper left corner, tries to reorganize itself to the new position of the upper left (0,0) point - and it gets confused, which results in the Properties menu getting displayed out of focus.
You can easily test this using attached patch. Simple fix: Never place anthing beyond the upper or left border!
Thanks, Frank, that's good to know, but it's not the cause of this problem. As others have pointed out, it's apparently a Mac/Windows Tcl/Tk glitch -- though I couldn't find anything about it on a cursory search of Tcl/Tk known issues.
