What is seen here is that this only occurs when the window extends off
of the bottom of the Ws, not the L,R sides, (or the top though that
needs to be forced

Unfortunately, at least with recent compiz, windows can 'slide' at bit
at times without any user initiated  moving of the window, usualy from
switching Ws's or expo

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.
