Hi John, thanks for the report. You've found a bug that's also been
reported at bug 1027584. It's fixed in newer release of Ubuntu.
Looking at that page, I'm not quite sure if or when it'd going to get
into Precise. But you can fix it on your machine pretty easily.
Those menu items, called quicklists in Unity, are defined in
/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop
which belongs to gedit. Here's the relevant text from that file, on my
machine:
[Desktop Action Window]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=gedit --new-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
[Desktop Action Document]
Name=Open a New Document
Exec=gedit --new-document
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
In the 12.04 version, it's "gedit --new-window" in both cases, instead
of "gedit --new-document" where it should be.
Until you get the fix, by update or upgrade, you can override the system
gedit.desktop file, with one for your user account, as
~/.local/share/applications/gedit.desktop. You can copy the system one
there, then edit it.
You'll probably want to keep an eye for the eventual update, and remove
your local gedit.desktop, when it comes, or, if you have more changes
you want to keep there, at least keep an eye for changes in the system
one.
And I'm gonna mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 1027584. I'll
subscribe to this, so you can keep posting here, if you want some more
help with a workaround, or on the main bug if you have more general
questions.
Hope this helps some. :)
