windows, new file do not create a new file

[fyah]

Hello,

Geany 1.36/1.37 (maybe this exists since a long time)

Start geany without opening a document
you get the following window

clicking on new file, do not create any new file
we can see however the action in the logs

but no new file created

If I start geany with a document opened then all I can observe is the same (message, logs) except that the new file action is working fine

If I start the application without any document and then I open a file afterwards, it also works as expected

I believe this is intentional and has been the case since very early, if not the initial commit.

See the code here; when you open new untitled document and there's only one new/untitled document that hasn't been changed, it closes the previous untitled document and opens a new one. I'm not sure I see the point of that, but I also don't see a particular problem with it, unless I'm just not seeing the use case for wanting many new/untitled tabs open with no changes to them.

indeed that seems rigth to me 👍
i just never realized this until recently, because i was looking into the slow startup
