The option to view the log no longer works in 6.09.05

I get an error when trying to load my homebrew data files, but I cannot view the errors due to the log not showing up. I pressed PF10, went to the menu under Tools and selected _Log & Memory Usage. Nothing showed the log so I could see what the errors were.
I'm not certain what I can do to show that it is not showing, can't think of a way to get screen captures to work that way.
