Description Yogeesh 2004-02-16 09:47:12 UTC 
I am running cvs gnome build on 28th Jan 2004 on Red Hat Linux 9.0

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Open gedit and a edit a text file (say test.txt) in workspace 1,
2. Open one more gedit window(by typing gedit --new-window) on workspace 2,
3. Be in workspace 2, Select File->Quit option from gedit menu. 
4. warning message appears saying "Save the changes to document(test.txt) 
before closing" along with gedit (test.txt) window.
5. Now click on 'Cancel' button,
Observe that gedit(test.txt) window remains on workspace 2.

expected behaviour: gedit window should go back to its original workspace 
when quit/save is cancelled.
Comment 1 Matthew Gatto 2004-05-16 22:03:42 UTC 
I think the expected behavior should be gedit iterating through workspaces,
windows, and tabs, and prompting the user for each open file: whether to [Dont
Save] or [Cancel Quit Operation] or [Save], rather than what it currently does
(moving all the windows to the current workspace and then asking).

Changing Summary for clarity.
Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2005-12-15 20:35:49 UTC 
now all the top level windows act independentely, so this does not happen anymore.
