Yes, but opening the second instance brings up the lock file warning, and this 
is the first time I’ve seen that warning in many weeks.

It usually happens after a power cut, or when I’ve had to power down the 
computer without an orderly shutdown.

…so I don’t think that’s the problem.

What was unusual about the work that preceded this incident was that I clicked 
“Save” and then promptly shut Gnucash down - I usually find that when I come to 
quit Gnucash the “Save” button is already greyed, indicating that an auto-save 
has already taken place.
