yes, only on another platform. so it's probably not mac-specific.

when RKWard starts, it shows all menus and they are usable. once the bug is 
triggered, some or all menus except RKWard disappear and this doesn't seem to 
change whatever you do afterwards. we didn't manage to get them back, e.g., by 
changing context. the only way to get them back was restarting RKWard, waiting 
for it to happen again.

after startup all plugins are there and working (at least the few we tried), 
the menus then disappear halfway through your session, always after opening 
something™. could this perhaps be an unintended side-effect of the context 
sensitive toolbar being updated? or a path setting leading to RKWard looking 
for configuration in the wrong place, depending on how it was built? or could 
this be related to an old configuration after upgrade?
