To reproduce - choose Open File... - select a bunch of files, including one of an unknown type - click OK the legitimate files will be opened properly, but the unknown type will be opened in a new floating window.
I cann't reproduce in new trunk build [nb_dev](200311241900), by the way there is a new window system, and this issue is maybe filed against build with old window system. David, can you explain build version/number ? Thanks in advance.
It seems it is old window system, please confirm, and next time file such issues to windosystem_1 subcomponent.
We are still waiting for your feedback - reassigne to new window system - just for hold issue opened.
Judging it is an old window system. The new one if in 'compact' mode, doesn't support floating windows at all. Anyway it seems it is a problem of openfile. Reassignig component.
I agree, it doesn't happen with the new window system. I'm closing this
