No multiple instances possible. Each newly opened file replaces the text in the currently opened Notepad3 instance. #5186

I recently upgraded from version 5.21 x64 portable to version 6.23 x64 portable and am experiencing the following behavior (among other problems).

It is no longer possible to open multiple instances with different text files at the same time. Each newly opened file replaces the text in the currently opened Notepad3 instance.

I open the texts under Windows by double-clicking - see screen video.

Is this a settings issue or a bug?

In the old version (5.21 x64 portable), a new instance was always opened and I did not make any changes to the settings in this regard when upgrading to 6.23.

Addendum: Damn, I've now switched back to 5.21 (but left the old ini files untouched with every upgrade).

Now I have the same behavior with version 5.21. This makes it very difficult to work. Does anyone have an idea which INI entry could be responsible for this?

I have checked this entry: SingleFileInstance=0

Many thanks for any helpful tips. I don't want to delete the entire INI and reconfigure everything (I have adjusted many things and changed all colors).

Addendum 2: It must be the settings. If I delete the Notepad3.ini and recreate it, multi instance works again. I will investigate this further.

Cause found!

It's the "Reuse Window" setting, which I must have activated by mistake. This issue has now been resolved.
