Hi Krzysztof , i see, i can reproduce it... but the amount of 124 windows with devel_0_38 is large enough that i haven't encountered the problem before. However, you are right with your original post... it seems that developers in the intersection of the topics "Windows", "PD" and "TCL/TK" really have vanished. I won't immerse myself in the latter.
best greetings, Thomas

Oh well, considering myself a Windows/PD developer, i'm still here... i can't say that i experienced that popup poppping up... but i'm using solely the devel branch - that is the place where i can fix things in time.
try these steps, as I just did a short while ago:
- boot windows
- run pd .38
- press ctrl-n
- keep it pressed as long as the number "x" increases in the "Untitled-x ..." title bar
- record the last value of "x"
- exit pd, if possible (or reboot windows)
- run pd .37
- repeat steps 3-5
I was able to open 41 windows in pd .38, and 152 in pd .37. That was in pure pd. Then I doubled the number of help submenu entries and pd .38 would open only 23 windows.
Certainly, there are some stupid limits, although I have no idea what imposes them. However, having hundreds of help files listed in a single menu, which barely scrolls in wish.exe, and does not scroll at all under linux, seems absurd, anyway.
