Description Unknown 2001-10-07 15:42:14 UTC 
In my opinion, OO file open and New/Autopilot behaviour is not accurate.

Suppose you open a new Writer window.  When you press File/Open and open an
exisiting file, it displays the document in a new window.  Instead, it should be
displayed in the very same window since the document in that window is not
edited yet.  The same is true for New docs and for Autopilot.  

This will prevent cluttering of the user's desktop.

My opinion: True. 
Especially because it works when you enter a document's URL in the URL box.

Reassigned to Falko.
Comment 2 Frank Schönheit 2001-10-08 16:07:47 UTC 
I'd like an option for this: "Re-use windows of unmodified documents" 
or something like this.
Comment 3 falko.tesch 2001-10-10 17:38:49 UTC 
Please no option. We have more of enough of those :o)
I agree and will accept this issue.

Seems fixed in 641D.  I tried the Linux version only.
Comment 9 falko.tesch 2003-10-15 13:47:45 UTC 
If you open a document twice you open is twice, period.
We will not patronize the user for what he has to do with manyfold
opened documents.
