Tiny little inconvenience

[galou_breizh]

I just discovered a very small bug. Create a new document and save it without doing any change, let's call it "doc_a.fcstd". If you open a new document at that moment, the document "doc_a.fcstd" is being closed. I though that this should happen only on unmodified documents that were never saved.

Not reproducible here. Tried from toolbars and file menu- same result. Nothing is closed, new file is created as expected. Also tried opening 6 new docs in a row - all open Ok. Why would you expect something to close without you inteervention?

And cannot confirm here. When you say "open a new document", I guess you mean "create a new document"?

I'm pretty sure it was supposed to mean "open an FCStd file in the same FC application instance".

Can confirm OP's issue with this modified issue description.

So it is normal for an empty new document to be closed when another document is open? Any idea why? If I create a new doc and then try to open another to copy/paste things from it to the first the empty one will be closed? How does that make sence?
I did some tests and now if an empty doc is active (no matter if it is loaded from saved file or newly created some time ago) and another file is opened the empry doc gets removed.

It doesn't just happen with empty documents - I've had pretty large documents replaced when opening another document. I have never managed to find a reliable process to trigger it though.

I actually meant open another existing document in the same FreeCAD instance. Creating a new document doesn't close "doc_a.fcstd".

I also just realized that the effect can only be observed when opening the second document from the File menu. Opening it from the Start Page also doesn't close "doc_a.fcstd".
