Research direction

Reproduce the session A and session B steps in XML Notepad and observe the caption and history list after closing session B. Trace the code responsible for the file caption and history-list updates; done means the current file remains in the caption while the history list no longer presents it as history.

Description

I'm not sure if that's great or confusing ..

  • Open file a.xml in XMLnotepad
  • "a.xml" is displayed in caption of program and in history-list
  • Open file b.xml in another XMLnotepad session
  • "b.xml" is displayed in caption of program and in history-list of second session
  • close "session b"
  • "a.xml" is still displayed in caption of "Session A" and history-list changes to "B.xml"

I think if it's a real history, then the currently opened file should not be displayed..
