The "New Window" option in the FILE pulldown menu is only showing when there isn't a window or tab open. It isn't listed as an option when there is a window or tab open. Not sure how to control the pulldown menu items

This behavior looks like this bug, can you have a look at it and confirm?

I’m not sure if you use any add-ons, but if you do, you can test a bit with disabling them as reported there. If you think you have valuable info to add there (more than just "I suffer this too"), you can register for a Bugzilla account and submit it.

Please keep us posted.
