Description of the Issue

Redirect to open the same file when using multiple windows (multiple instances)?

Give:

you have 2 files, AA BB.

you double click & open AA in one window WW
you double click & open BB in another window TT
each window has only 1 file -- 1 tab -- no other tabs

you are editing BB, didnt save it
you leave & do something else

Now, Problem:

you come back
you double click & open BB again,
due to the config of multiple instances (multiple windows)
-> you actually opens another instance of BB -- BB2

you are unaware of it, and you start editing BB2
and later you found BB2 is missing things
->now you have 2 conflicting versions of file, BB & BB2 -- BAD

• (even worse, this BB2 can sometimes be opened in window WW with AA, even harder to notice)

Describe the solution you'd like.

Solution:
