When a file is opened in an editor, a user tries to open it with a different editor. The UI indicator "." beside the editor switches to indicate the editor that the user attempts to open the file with, however the file is still open with the previous editor. Three issues contribute to this problem: 1. UI framework: the framework only allows a file to be opened once in one editor. The file has to be closed first to respond to an attempt of opening it with another editor. 2. Usability issue: If sticks to this framework, a message should be popped up to remind user of closing the current opening file before she/he tries to open it with another editor. 3. BUG: UI indicator used to indicate which editor is open currently should be consistent with the actual opening editor.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
