second one through the Windows menu... :-)

That you simply cannot select the second instance in the menu.  Both entries say "Monticello browser".  As one moves the mouse down the menu the first highlights, but then the selection jumps to the one following the second instance.  Hence you can't unbury the second instance until you delete the first.  Most unsatisfactory :-)

Ah, yeah. But this just affects hovering. You can always click on it and you can also use the keyboard to navigate to the menu item.

Sure, it's a bug. I suspect that it is a new one that I introduced with changing the focus event handling of MenuMorph.

Best,
