What information do you need to reopen this? I am on Ubuntu 11.04. If I start gedit on startup or from the panel, and then invoke gedit with a file from the CLI, it opens a new instance. However, if I start gedit from the CLI, and then open a file from the CLI, the same instance is shared.

More generally, in Hardy gedit seems to open each file in a new window even though the --new-window option is not used. Is this a bug or a change in behaviour? In any case, this behaviour is creating a problem not only with same files opened many times, but also when trying to use xdvi and gedit for inverse search of .tex sources. P.S. Sorry if I did the wrong thing reporting a new bug, but the old one had a fix committed status. What should one do in this case?
