I found what the problem is. In the file scripts/TeXFiles.sh it is assumed that the path separator is ';' when it detects a Windows environment. Now, in cygwin the path separator is ':', instead, and that causes the empty "TeX Information" dialog. This is only a problem with the cygwin tetex as MikTeX always returns Windows style path lists separated by ';'. It was having an empty "TeX Information" even if I am using MikTeX because I forgot that I have a wrapper script for the kpsewhich command which translates all paths and path lists to posix format ... -- Enrico
