Public bug reported:
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.
