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.
