I also find it to be very annoying that a new instance of gedit is opened whenever I open another file by double clicking or right clicking on it. I want all text files to open in the same instance.
Clearly some people an instance per file though eg. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=845906 although as someone pointed out above you can do that by right-clicking on the tab within an existing option. The obvious solution is for there to be a simple configurable option: open all text files in one instance yes/ no. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777292 Title: Gedit not single instance when started from unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/777292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
