Dear Maintainer,

I hereby report a bug that affects the the gedit<->dolphin integration (already
reported on Ubuntu [1] and KDE [2]).

The basic story, which is 100 % reproducible on my computer :
when opening a text file with gedit inside Dolphin, two files are open : the
one to open and a new "untitled" file.
When launching gedit from the command line, this doesn't happen.

According to a comment on the KDE report [2], the problem's root may go deeper
than Dolphin, because kioclient is also affected (I also reproduced it [3]).
However, Dolphin is the one affected on a day-to-day usage basis.

Best,
Pierre
