You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: gedit
Normally, gedit is a single instance application, meaning that it is started only once, and subsequent invocations are merged into the already running instance. When starting gedit from unity (either via dash, or via Alt+F2) and later from somewhere else (I tested opening a file in nautilus, opening a file from the archive manager, and running from the command line), gedit is started a second time. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 $ apt-cache policy gedit gedit: Installed: 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy unity unity: Installed: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages TEST CASE: 1.
