[issue21612] IDLE should not open multiple instances of one file

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Your report is a bit vague. Idle is supposed to only open a file once in a particular Idle process. If you have seen otherwise (but see below first), please complete the report: OS, exact Python version (x.y.z), exactly what you did.

If you right-clicked in a file browser, then you open the file in a new idle process each time. This is routine and the issue should be closed.
