Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
0. Have two projects, A and B
1. Open project A in Geany, make no changes
2. Select Project > Recent Projects > Project B
(Reproduced on an up-to-date Xenial installation today.)
What happens:
A dialog pops up saying the previous project is open, and asks if I want to
close it before proceeding.
What I expect to happen instead:
For Project B to open without the dialog. I've not made any changes to Project
A so the dialog is blocking the switch unnecessarily. If I *had* made changes,
I'd expect them to be saved implicitly at this point, or, failing that, to be
prompted to *save* the changes before switching; not whether I want to close
Project A (which I do).
Perhaps unrelatedly, the prompt title ("The 'Project A' project is
open.") seems to be missing from Launchpad translations; only the
question ("Do you want to close it before proceeding?") is translatable.
