[Originally filed as http://bugs.debian.org/230805] Subject: Bug#230805: gnumeric: close has same effect as exit From: Richard Kimber <rkimber@ntlworld.com> Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2004 16:30:08 +0000 Package: gnumeric Version: 1.2.0-1 Severity: normal When choosing to close an open spreadsheet with the close menu option gnumeric exits instead of just closing the spreadsheet. Thus one has to restart gnumeric in order to open another shreadshet.
The HIG distinguished three application types for the behaviour of File -> Close: Single document interface, Controlled single document interface, Multiple document interface. Gnumeric's current behaviour is that specified for "single document interface", but gnumeric supports multiple documents, so it would be more consistent to have the multiple document interface behaviour "close the current document and create a new blank document".
