Description

File > Open Recent

MacOS 10.15 catalina ; I'm accepting this is now two years old so this may be my own fault.

nb: not clear if this is related to #223 as that was fixed by https://github.com/racket/gui/issues/168

Research direction

Start by reproducing File > Open Recent on macOS Catalina and measure how long the menu takes to populate. Read the discussion in issue #223 and the referenced racket/gui issue #168 to determine whether this is the same problem. Done means Open Recent populates without the reported 10-minute delay, with a regression test or reproduction details if the project supports them.
