Unfortunately the "Open documents into the front window when possible" preference does not add a new document to the a project window - it adds it to the frontmost window that is not a project window. If no non-project windows are open a new document will open in a new window.
If the "Open documents into the front window when possible" is not checked each new document is opened in its own window. The 'New Text Document' option is disabled in the options 'gear' at the bottom of the lefthand/project pane in a project window. The 'New Text Document' option does not appear in a non-project window. Both sound like poor design choices. The inability to add a new document to a project is an annoying oversight. I certainly don't create all my code files first and then group them all together into a project. At least in the previous versions we could select the 'New' option (in the File menu or in the window's document drawer) to add a new document to a window - even if it was a 'project' window. I'm testing the version 10 demo and certainly won't upgrade just to make working with projects harder. Creating a new document in another window and then dragging it to a project window is not conducive to a smooth workflow.
