I experienced a similar behaviour opening a particular file on MacOSX (not my 
machine). The symptoms were: no shortcuts working  (i.e. to insert a math 
display), no shortcuts showing  up in the menus  and actually the menus were 
much shorter than usual (i.e. items were missing).  I  didn’t investigated  
this much. Seemed a problem with TeXmacs scheme code: on a new created 
document the shortcuts and the menus were as expected.

Andreas: can you check that you have usual menus and that the shortcuts show 
up in the menus?
