What information do you need to reopen this?

I am on Ubuntu 11.04. If I start gedit on startup or from the panel, and then invoke gedit with a file from the CLI, it opens a new instance. 
However, if I start gedit from the CLI, and then open a file from the CLI, the same instance is shared.

Title:
  opens two instances of the same file when using some themes

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  Expired
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  I'm using Hardy up-to-date and it seems to me that this bug
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/13905) is back:
  try to open twice the same text file, from nautilus or cli does not
  matter, and two instances of gedit will be launched.

  More generally, in Hardy gedit seems to open each file in a new window even though the --new-window option is not used. Is this a bug or a change in behaviour?
  In any case, this behaviour is creating a problem not only with same files opened many times, but also when trying to use xdvi and gedit for inverse search of .tex sources.

  P.S. Sorry if I did the wrong thing reporting a new bug, but the old
  one had a fix committed status. What should one do in this case?
