Description

The following functionality is not working with v7.7 (and may be related to the fact I'm using an older macos version noted above), but remains working properly with v7.6:

  • the "File / Open Recent >" menu selection shows nothing (no file history)
  • the "View / "blank" cmd-/=" menu selection shows no text describing the selection's behavior (was expecting it to show "Decrease/Increase Font Size")
  • the "Windows /" menu selection shows nothing (was expecting "Minimize ... Various Tabs/Windows options")

(sorry, I don't have access to a mac running a more recent os version to test it.)

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the missing File/Open Recent, View, and Windows menu items on macOS 10.13.6 and compare DrRacket 7.6 with 7.7; done means all three menus display their expected history, descriptions, and window options.
