This behavior happens with me all the time, if I drag a window to the bottom right corner of the screen and try to open a new file, instead of a new tab on the current window I get a new window.
Using Ubuntu 11.10, gedit 3.2.1, Ubuntu3D desktop with no changes done on ccsm, this is a fresh install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747761 Title: randomly opens file in new window instead of new tab Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gedit Steps to reproduce: 1) Navigate to some folder with Nautilus 2) Double click on a text file (or right click - open with "gedit") 3) Double click on some other text file 4) And so on Expected behaviour: Every new file should be opened in a new tab of the same gedit window. Or it may be acceptable that every new file would _always_ be opened in a new gedit window. Best would be to be able to configure this in the preferences Observed behaviour: Usually the new file is opened in a new tab of the same gedit window. At random times however, the new file is opened in a new gedit window even if there is already another gedit window open. There doesn't seem to be a logic: it does not depend for example on the number of files already open. It seems to be random.
