Description matthew 2012-06-26 22:18:50 UTC 
In Ubuntu 12.04, I right-click on gedit in the unity launcher, and select "Open a New Window".

Expected result: Gedit opens a new window with one new document

Actual result: Gedit opens a new window with two new documents

Hi Robert, are you sure this is a duplicate? Bug 679548 seems to describe "Open New *Document*" creating a new window. This bug is about "Open New *Window*" creating two tabs (documents) in the new window, rather than one.

I can reproduce the bug.

Open gedit.
Start "gedit --new-window".
It will open a new window with two tabs.
