As per Alfred debugger:

I think this issue is related to the one being addressed by #33 .

The workflow retrieves an invisible Format menu bar item for Forklift:

Apple
ForkLift
[<AXUIElement 0x600003561680> {pid=36446}]
File
[<AXUIElement 0x600003561680> {pid=36446}]
Edit
[<AXUIElement 0x600003561680> {pid=36446}]
Format
[]
View
[<AXUIElement 0x6000035643c0> {pid=36446}]
Go
[<AXUIElement 0x600003578030> {pid=36446}]

Window

Help
[<AXUIElement 0x600003561d70> {pid=36446}]

Format has no kAXChildrenAttribute unlike the other visible menu bar items but the current code does not check that the arrays are non-empty before trying to access the first element.

@occludedpixel is there a workaround / beta version that fixes this at the moment?

[occludedpixel]

@notDavid I have submitted a pull request #33. You can clone that repo and build the menu executable following the instructions here then replace the existing one in the workflow directory with it.

edit: I have just posted a release here which includes the updated executable
