I thought I’d provide some additional information. I tried various combinations in the SAP GUI Config (see screenshot below).
If I have either “Notify when a script attaches to SAP GUI” or “Notify when a script opens a connection” or both checked, I am able to interact with the SAP Menu items. However, by doing this I am completely unable to interact with anything else in SAP which renders the automation useless.
Now, if I uncheck everything I am able to interact with most elements in SAP, but I am unable to select the SAP Menu items as described in my initial post.
So far, there is no way for me to have everything accessible at the same time…
