Bug Description
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Jedit: 5.1.0
expected behaviour: 1st click on launch icon should launch new instance of jedit, whereas subsequent clicks on launch icon should first show already running instances, requiring explicit right click, jedit, for new instance. (note: this is the default Ubuntu app icon behaviour and is the behaviour that used to obtain using Ubuntu 12.04 and previous requisit jedit version).
actual behaviour: jedit launch icon launches a new instance with each (left) mouse click. (even new top dash jedit icon does not actually enable instance selection).
impact: a) a real nuisance since at variance with all other Ubuntu app. behaviours, b) puts files at some risk since VERY easy to inadvertently have multiple instances of same file open simultaenously, and thus edit/save wrong one. c) unnecesssary memory/performance overheads incurred, inadvertently.
please, is there some way of reverting/fixing behaviour here?
many thanks
