Selecting a checkbox menu item doesn't seem to toggle its checkmark #10845

Description

@jayfoad
  • Electron version: 1.7.9
  • Operating system: Linux (Ubuntu 17.04)

Expected behavior

The docs for MenuItem say:

  • A checkbox menu item will toggle the checked property on and off when selected.
  • [...]
  • You can add a click function for additional behavior.

See repro for a sample app that creates a menu with a checkbox menu item. When I select it, I expect a checkmark to appear / disappear alternately.

I've seen #5055 but that seemed to be specifically about Tray.setContextMenu.

Actual behavior

A checkmark never appears.

$ npm install
$ npm start
