[Bug 1394828] [NEW] extra 'help' menu item blinks with cursor in terminal

 

Public bug reported:

Sometimes when I open the terminal app there will be an additional, non-
interactive, 'Help' item in the menu bar which blinks in time with the
cursor in the terminal. It's visible whether you have the mouse over the
menubar or not, as shown in the attached video.

This happens only very rarely so I'm not sure of the triggering
conditions, and it also fixes itself after a short amount of time / a
few commands are run.
