    Re: Gedit opens files in new window instead of new tab

    New Dell Inspiron 15R, fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04, same problem and I have not yet found a cure. As with others, I prefer one gedit session and all files displayed in tabs, rather than what is apparently the default for Unity: openning files in a new window. Its possible to open files using the open button, which then opens the files in new tabs. But if using Nautilus to navigate and open - new window. Maybe its Nautilus thing? Help would be appreciated.

    Re: Gedit opens files in new window instead of new tab

    Sorry to bring up a really old thread but I'm having this exact same issue but in 11.10, I was having the same problems in 11.04.

    Basically if I already have a text file open then double click another file in Nautilus, it creates another gedit session rather than just opening it in a new tab in the current session.

    As I find Unity very awkward to switch windows it makes this bug even more annoying. If anyone has any ideas then let me know. I'm going to file it as a bug to see if I can get some help with it.

    Cheers.
