i’ve built an application with the manager for commands, and before adding my command i registered a menu with only the common application Quit command,

```auto

```

i don’t know why but is shown in grey (disabled).  
but if i register a target before registering the

`commandManager->registerAllCommandsForTarget (contentComp);
commandManager->registerAllCommandsForTarget (JUCEApplication::getInstance());`  
then the Quit menu item command is enabled…  
is this behaviour wanted ? dunnow…

I just tried this myself with the demo app and it works fine…?
