Description Jesse Glick 2001-06-18 11:47:19 UTC 
[dev jun 17] After choosing Dock View Into onto some component, I see
that I have 12 (!) different options all labelled "Form"! The Form
Editor is not even installed currently. It seems that every form I
ever opened in the IDE created its own mode and that all of them are
remembered.
Comment 1 Marian Mirilovic 2001-06-18 13:42:36 UTC 
Yes, you are right. I filed the same bug to core 2 months ago, but David wrote 
"as designed".

Comment 2 David Simonek 2001-06-18 15:06:02 UTC 
I believe this is module's responsibility not to create new modes again and
again, but reuse. Modes are remembered by weak reference.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
