I have assigned Aquamacs to be the default app for .txt files, and it always worked just fine. But last week I updated to Sequoia (15.2) and now if I double-click on a txt file, Aquamacs starts and immediately freezes (see screenshot below).
I can sort of get around this with a shell script that essentially does:
open -a /Applications/Aquamacs.app
sleep 0.5
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/aquamacs "$my_file"
... but obviously this is ugly and it doesn't solve the problem of double-clicking on a txt file in Finder.
Also, once I opened Aquamacs for one file, I can double-click or use 
open on other files, without a hitch. So it's really only the first time that gets stuck.
Can anyone suggest a better solution? Thanks!
