nw.Window.open callback returns undefined object when using new_instance

See original GitHub issue

In nwjs 0.13-beta6, win64 SDK build, when opening a new window with “new_instance” set to true, the Window.open callback returns an undefined object. Even the ‘this’ object is undefined.

nw.Window.open('new.html', {
   'new_instance': true
},function(win){
   // win is undefined here
});

Edit: Unless this is by design because the new window will have a new context that we are not supposed to access?
