I just tested in linux, and the problem was still there. But clearing my preferences solved it...

Looking further it seems that the occurrence of the problem depends on the language setting! The default on my system (French) works fine but if I set ("language" "english") the bug occurs. Actually anything other than "english" seems fine. Weird.

I just tried on my Mac for version 10674 and noticed no problem.
Does the problem still occur on your systems?

marked bug #44452 as duplicate.

This issue seems fixed by the simple change
("Open new window" (open-window))
to
("Open new window" (window-focus (open-window)))
in view-menu.scm (and file-menu.scm)

I will test it further before risking a commit.

This bug still exist, but there is a much simpler fix than th eone suggested in #2: just click in the new window prior to using the menu. Probably there should be a way to do this programatcally (and automatically).

Using the lastest source compiled in Debian, I confirm the problem: In the newly open window the menu File/load does not open the file dialog (works fine from the first window's menu). No error message is shown.

You can sort of "repair" that broken menu item by bringing up a file dialog by another way, for instance using:
- the menu Insert/link/include in the new window,
- the File/load menu from the first window,

Subsequently the File/load menu also opens the dialog in the new window.

If I do the same things and try to search the help with F1 on the new windows nothing happens either.

System is Arch linux with gnome (gnome-session version is 3.12.1).

I have noticed the following behavior.

After starting Texmacs, TeXmacs opens with an empty document titled "No name [1]". I select open a new window (e.g. from the icon bar). A new windows appears with an empty document titled "No name [2]". I select "File -> Load" or use the "load" button in the icon bar but nothing seems to happen, i.e. no "open file" dialog box appears.
