Re: [gedit-list] RFE: remove the tab when viewing a single file

Hi Paolo,

I agree with your thoughts about gedit being an MDI editor. I'm fine
with that.

Personally I'm still stuck back with FC4 (gedit 2.10.2), but I do use
gedit most of the time. My main problem with it is that it's possible in
the MDI to open the same document more that one. I find this VERY
unintuitive, and I am often messing up by updating a file on one window,
and then updating it in the other window and saving, and losing the
changes that I made in the first window. I'm fine with the MDI but this
behaviour is not intuitive and I think should be changed.

I think it's quite possible that you've already attended to this,
because I think we might have discussed it before.  But I thought I'd
mention again in this context, just in case.

Cheers
JP
