I see the same thing (17.10), gedit 3.22.1: - if I maximize gedit vertically, gedit foo always opens a new gedit window - if I maximize gedit horizontall, gedit foo always opens a new gedit window - if I don't maximize in either direction, gedit foo opens in the existing gedit window
I'm running Wayland, not sure if that has any impact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573728 Title: Files opened with gedit on command line no longer open within the existing gedit session Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Prior to my update today to Ubuntu 16.04, I could open a file using gedit on the command line and it would open in the gedit window i already have open. 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.
