Can you be more explicit, please? The only problem I am aware of is one that Marc has only just pointed out - that opening a project in one Edit window also opens it in the other. I'm pretty sure this is a bug as I remember setting up code for separate projects. Otherwise, the two Edit windows should work properly, and I myself frequently use them.
