There is still a very basic bug present in 2.1.1 that I hope the
developer can take some time away from development of commercial addons
in order to fix.
This has been posted to bugzilla as a followup to another thread, where as far as I can tell any posted bug, even those representing serious workflow challenges like this one, remain "unconfirmed" indefinitely. Hence this duplicate posting:
from bugzilla http://bugzilla.bluegriffon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671
...(Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit version 2.1.1)...
I've got the box "Restore Last Session's Tabs" UNchecked. However, for instance if I have three tabs open and all of them are saved properly, and hit the window manager's close (X) button to exit BlueGriffon, next time I open any other file I'll get those three tabs again... four if the file I've clicked is distinct from the first three.
To make matters much worse, when a previous tab comes back, it always becomes the active tab, *instead of* the file that I have just opened.
It only saves the list of closed tabs when exiting File > Quit from the menu, and if any tab is open at that point it will always come back. This makes BlueGriffon less attractive for opening & viewing lots of files (which most web designers & HTML note-takers are), because you must deliberately close every single tab that you open. Otherwise, you get the same tab jumping back at you next time!
The matter is made worst of all by the Ctrl-Q hotkey not working in Linux. You have to use the explict menu sequence Alt-F followed by Q. So, if you don't want lingering tabs in Linux that have to be closed every time, you can exit BlueGriffon in version 2.1.1 like this, *every time*:
1) hit Ctrl-W until there are no tabs left on the screen
2) hit Alt-F,Q to close the window
Quite a left-hand workout: a challenging workaround for what is now the greatest nuisance bug in my daily workflow.
