gedit incorrectly opens files in the existing window when maximized

[Paul Natsuo Kishimoto]

Binary package hint: gedit

This bug was reported upstream first:

When gedit is already running and then "gedit <file>" command is executed from a terminal window (passing a file as arg) then:
- when the existing gedit window is maximized -> it opens the file in a new gedit window,
- when the existing gedit window is not-maximized -> it opens the file as another tab in the existing window (as expected)

Expected:
When gedit is maximized, it should open next files as tabs in the existingwindow.

Also experiencing this bug with
 * Ubuntu 8.10 beta
 * Gedit 2.24.0

This occurs regardless of how the file is open; i.e. using gnome-open, or opening a file via Nautilus produces the same result.

Thank you for your bug report, no need to open upstream bugs on launchpad though

old linked upstream bug was marked as a duplicate, new one now includes a fix, would be nice if this fix gets backported to Intrepid
