[Bug 209243] Re: gedit opens two instances of the same file

I am using compiz with the Human Theme customized. if i click two text files from nautilus, they open in different windows instead of the same window, two tabs. really annoying. a solution would be greatly appreciated. -- gedit opens two instances of the same file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 209243] Re: gedit opens two instances of the same file
Ok Sebastien, 1. Customise your window theme so that your window border is the default 'Human' 2. In nautilus click on a text file so that it opens in gedit 3. Go back to nautilus and click again on the same text file. The first gedit window will get focus and no new copy of the file will be opened 4. Change your window border to another theme, such as Glider 5. In nautilus click on a text file so that it opens in gedit 6. Go back to nautilus and click again on the same text file. A new gedit window will be opened with a new copy of the text file and a warning saying that another copy of the file is already opened. Glider is not the only window border theme that shows this behaviour. Neither opening the file in gedit from cli nor from the Recent Documents menu makes a difference. Nor does it using metacity or compiz. As a side note, no matter what window border theme is in use, if you have a text file opened in gedit in workspace 1, go to workspace 2 and try to open it again, a new gedit instance with the usual warning will happear. Is this an intended behaviour? -- gedit opens two instances of the same file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

hi Sebastien, I'm not sure your question was directed to me, but both clicking on the txt and invoking gedit from cli resulted in the same issue. The only thing that matters, in my case at least, is the window border theme. -- gedit opens two instances of the same file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

how do you run gedit and open those txt? -- gedit opens two instances of the same file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 209243] Re: gedit opens two instances of the same file
I've got the same issue. Every opening of a .txt file, for example, opens a new instance of gedit. Hardy, up-to-date vanilla, AMD64. I don't think it did this before, at least not two months ago? -- gedit opens two instances of the same file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 209243] Re: gedit opens two instances of the same file
Hi Guido, thanks for your bug report. I am unable to reproduce this on an up-to-date Hardy. If I try to open to same file twice via the GUI or CLI, it just focuses the tab that the file is in, it does not open a new one anywhere. Do you have a different setting enabled that allows this? In regards to your other question, this bug does not actually sound similar to the other bug. That bug is in regards to gedit not allowing two instances to be run, yours is almost the opposite if I understand correctly; it opens multiple instances when you don't want it to. It may be a side effect of the fix to that bug, however. If you could provide me with some more details on how to reproduce this and if you agree that it is different from the bug you mentioned, I can help to move this bug along.

[Bug 209243] Re: gedit opens two instances of the same file
ok, it took me a while, but I managed to reproduce the bug with a vanilla hardy up-to-date (I did a fresh install): it happens with several window border themes. To reproduce: for example change the default Human window border to Glider and then try to open twice a txt file. -- gedit opens two instances of the same file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
