I believe this is intentional and has been the case since very early, if not the initial commit.
See the [code here](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/0a0b4b000cf18e837b921057a461ad05a08e41d3/src/document.c#L628); when you open new untitled document and there's only one new/untitled document that hasn't been changed, it closes the previous untitled document and opens a new one. I'm not sure I see the point of that, but I also don't see a particular problem with it, unless I'm just not seeing the use case for wanting many new/untitled tabs open with no changes to them. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
