No, OOo also does it. Drew has named the single case where it doesn't
work as expected. Try it out. Throw out the quickstarter and see what
happens.

If you are talking about the second document window of an application: I
know that there are SDI applications that do it correctly (like OOo) and
other's don't. You also must differentiate between applications that
(like wordpad) create a new instance for every document and others that
don't. IIRC Word 2003 does it like OOo (if you configure it to use SDI,
not MDI).

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
