jEdit 5.0 on MacOS 10.7.5 -- I've seen the same in previous versions of both.

Launch jEdit and it works normally.

In some cases, I guess if I close all open windows, jEdit is still clearly running, but no menu items are available (all grey). The only option I've found for continuing is to Quit and relaunch.

So... I shouldn't close all open jEdit windows, or what? Is there another way out?

TIA

jEdit 5.0 on MacOS 10.7.5.

Just noticed among the usual tiny icons lined up in the Mac's menu bar at upper right... a tiny jE icon. But it doesn't seem to do anything. Typically such icons identify themselves with a tool-tip on mouse-over, and most of them reveal pull-down menus.

In most cases these icons provide system monitoring or control functions, e.g. temperature monitor, scripting, backup, language script, time/date, etc. It seems unusual for an app like jEdit to be represented here.

Am I missing something really obvious?

TIA
