With latest trunk I'm not able to produce it any more so this seems to
be fixed.

The former.  I'm used to debug emacs from another emacs but with -nw
this seems impossible.  And in a cmd.exe window emacs takes control of
the window as you say.  What do you use to get back to the debugger?


A minor nitpick: When I mouse-open the Tools menu and, with that menu
open, mouse-click the Emacs-Lisp menu, the Tools menu is still around.
Any simple way to close all open menus when opening a new one?
