[BUG] Opening Force Feedback Effect asset opens new window every time

I’ve created a Force Feedback Effect asset for a project I’m working on; and I noticed that when I already have asset open in a window to edit it, and I double-click on asset in Content Browser, Editor opens a new window, instead of switching to already open window.

I was able to open 15 windows for same Force Feedback Effect. I then created a new Force Feedback Effect, and was able to open 11 windows for that one. I took a screenshot of issue, and will post it below. I didn’t want to open any more windows, because I’m not sure how many windows Editor can have open before crashing, and I didn’t want to lose any work.

Hey Jonathan,

I was able to reproduce this in 4.5 Preview, but it appears this has been fixed in our internal build. I expect this will no longer be an issue in 4.6. As an aside, I was curious to see how many tabs of same asset I could have open and I got well over 100 without crashing, so I don’t think you need to worry about that too much. Thanks for reporting issue!

Over 100?! That’s dedication! Thanks for looking into it.
