This behavior happens with me all the time, if I drag a window to the
bottom right corner of the screen and try to open a new file, instead of
a new tab on the current window I get a new window.

Using Ubuntu 11.10, gedit 3.2.1, Ubuntu3D desktop with no changes done
on ccsm, this is a fresh install.

Title:
  randomly opens file in new window instead of new tab

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Steps to reproduce:

  1) Navigate to some folder with Nautilus
  2) Double click on a text file (or right click - open with "gedit")
  3) Double click on some other text file
  4) And so on

  Expected behaviour:
  Every new file should be opened in a new tab of the same gedit window. Or it may be acceptable that every new file would _always_ be opened in a new gedit window. Best would be to be able to configure this in the preferences

  Observed behaviour:
  Usually the new file is opened in a new tab of the same gedit window.
  At random times however, the new file is opened in a new gedit window even if there is already another gedit window open.

  There doesn't seem to be a logic: it does not depend for example on
  the number of files already open. It seems to be random.
