Description Berend De Schouwer 2015-06-09 12:03:22 UTC 
Gedit no longer opens documents in a new tab.

When running "gedit a.txt; gedit b.txt", the result is two windows, one with a.txt, one with b.txt.

In Gnome 3.14 you would get one gedit, with two tabs.

gedit 3.16 has a --new-window command-line option; but no --new-tab command-line option.

If you run "gedit a.txt b.txt", one window with multiple tabs is opened.



If there is a maximized gedit window, then "gedit newfile.txt" opens in a new tab.  This is only for not-maximized gedit windows.

It's maybe a duplicate of bug #733577 or bug #730414.
