That will only come out with newer gnome versions, so this would only be fixed in 20.04 if you're using LTS releases. I'm running the original patch with no issues, so maybe it would be nice to just add that to the current package?

After updating to 16.04 when I open a file with say `gedit /tmp/myleakycode.c` it opens in a new window. Oddly, as I was writing this bug report it's now working I expect it to, where opening files on the CLI adds to my existing session. I'll follow up if I find some pattern as to what triggers this. I am running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 with the 4.4.0-21-generic kernel, gedit 3.18.3, terminator 0.98 to open the files.
