When you open a new file from the file manager, a new instance is started. When you do it from the menu, a new window is created in the existing instance.

I wasn't aware of that before I had the problem with the delay, noticed the difference by chance and then knew it could only be because of new vs same instance.

But why would I want to open files in new instances? opening files via file manager is often more comfortable for me. Is there a way to not have this create new instances? If so, could/should it be made default?
