Multiple windows:

4. Settings

My User/GhostText.sublime-settings:

{
    "new_window_on_connect": true
}

5. Steps to reproduce

The problem is reproduced for me in a version of Sublime Text without plugins and user settings.

I click to Ghost button in Firefox → I select textarea element → one new Sublime Text window and one tab in current Sublime Text window open for me.

If I click to Ghost button in Firefox again 2 times and select textarea element again, 3 new windows and one new tab in current window open for me.

6. Environment

Operating system and version: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 64-bit EN Sublime Text: Build 3126 Firefox: 51.0.1 (64-bit) GhostText for Firefox: 1.2.4.1 GhostText for Sublime Text: 1.0.13

Thanks! Yes, that’s definitely an issue here: https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText/blob/master/browser/scripts/content.js#L153

In short, GT-browser’s focus events listeners are not cleaned up, so they pile up and are called all at once later.

PRs welcome.

Having similar issues with: Firefox 53.0.3 Sublime 3 GhostText Extension 17.6.1.407

Normally works perfectly on fresh start, but after that it stuffs up by displaying multiple instances in Sublime text editor. The number seems to be adding up such that on the 5th attempt, 5 instances will open. I also noticed that if I close any of the instances on Sublime, then the instance that was actively working, stops working. In other words, in order to sync with the browser, all the useless instances must be kept open.
