With "Close existing tabs" instead of "Open new window" everything works fine.

It would be really great if this could be fixed for the next release.
I need to switch between favorites quite often so this os quite annoying.

[spacemanspiff2007]

@Hirogen Can you reproduce this issue or do you need more information from me?

[spacemanspiff2007]

Bump for visibility

[Hirogen]

I'll give it a try on Monday

[spacemanspiff2007]

Could this be included in the next release?

[Hirogen]

I'll try to get it into the 1.8.9 release, currently with corona at home... so might take 2-3 weeks before a new RC or the 1.8.9 is out

[spacemanspiff2007]

No worries! I hope you get well soon!

I have seen the same problem in version 1.9.0.
Would be great if it gets fixed!
If it helps: this is how such session file looks (stripped the real paths though):

    </DockWindow>
  </DockWindows>
  <FloatWindows Count="0" />
</DockPanel></layout>

And when choose "close existing tabs" then the windows for the two files are stacked in the upper left corner without real body visible:

[Hirogen]

yeah this can happen, if the session log doesn't find the log file and gets confused, will try to fix in the .net 8 branch
