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

[irdb]

irdb added the comment:

Yes, I am right-clicking the file through Windows Explorer as in some situations it seems much faster. (Opening through IDLE's file menu in a particular process works fine)

If this is supposed to be so please close the issue. Although I don't understand why one would want this feature. This is not the case when I use Adobe Reader to open a pdf file, Notepad++ to open a text file, or MS Word to open a .doc file.

I'm using Windows 8 x64/Python 2.7.6 (32 bit version)
