0.63.0+: global is not set on windows opened with new_instance true

[sdurham]

NWJS Version : 0.63.1
Operating System : Mac Monterey 12.2.1 (non m1 mac). I have not tried windows.

Expected behavior

nw.global is populated after nw.Window.open(..., { new_instance: true });

Actual behavior

nw.global appears to be empty {}, and attempting to access anything (set or get) give a "no access" error.

How to reproduce

Easy -- just do nw.window.open(, { new_instance: true }) from the main app.
Then in the new window, take a look at global in the console.
This is working fine in 0.62.1

Hi, hopefully this is a small fix? Can we get it in soon?

This is fixed in git and will be available in the next nightly build.
