Using GnuStep on a day to day basis, strange basic bugs

[Tomaž Slivnik]

Hi,

I've tried using GnuStep several times as a day-to-day work environment,
but I always give up after I soon run into basic bugs which make the
experience unworkable. I've decided to give it another go and try to get
to the bottom of these bugs.

Right now, I opened GWorkspace and opened a RTF file. It opened in Ink.
I tried to open it in TextEdit, so I tried right-clicking on it. I was
not successful, but I did end up with two menus stuck on the screen
which are not functional and which can be neither moved nor closed. I
attach the screen shot.

What is the cause of this?

How do I get rid of these menus?

How do I associate the RTF extension with TextEdit rather than Ink?

Many thanks.

Tomaz

PS I am on Debian 10.5, and I'm using the latest GnuStep package. 
GWorkspace says it's 0.9.4. TextEdit says it is release 5.

PPS What is the best Unix-line system (Linux / FreeBSD / etc.) to use
GnuStep with?
