Okay, yup, that's the internal/line editor.

The '/?' command in the internal editor display the contents of your "editor" menu/display file (by default, from the text/menu directory).

What are the contents of your text/menu/editor.asc file? Do you have any other editor.* files in the text directory tree? Have you created or edited any of these files?

That issue has been fixed in Git as of today.
