Un-actionable HIToolbox error output immediately after Mac software update

I have tracked down a workaround which also I think points us closer to what may be causing this.

If I go to my MacOS settings, I have “Automatically hide and show the menu bar” to “Always”.

If I set this to “Never”, it completely prevents all of the error output.

If I set it back to “Always” the error output comes right back.

Even if I change this Mac OS setting in the middle of a JavaFX runtime, it will have the expected effect. Turning it to “Always” during runtime will causes the JavaFX app to start have the error output, while turning it to “Never” during runtime will prevent any further error output from being produced as long as it stays on “Never”.

So unless you are willing to put up with all of the error output, JavaFX is not fully compatible with the MacOS feature of automatically hiding the system menu bar right now.
