Public bug reported:
I upgraded to Oneiric, I am running gedit.
Version:
cat /proc/version
cat /etc/issue
uname -a
Linux version 3.0.0-17-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.6.1
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) ) #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 17:34:21 UTC 2012

Linux popoi 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 17:34:21 UTC 2012 i686

Gedit version:
apt-cache policy gedit

Installed: 3.2.3-0ubuntu0.1

Set up:
Open gedit
Create/edit some files
Have multiple file tabs open in a single session of gedit
Switch to firefox
Want to switch back to gedit using the unity left sidebar
Expected behavior:
Gedit icon in unity sidebar should have "active" triangle on it's left.
Clicking gedit should show the last text document that I was working on.
Actual, buggy behavior:
Gedit icon in unity sidebar does not have an "active" triangle near it.
Clicking on the gedit icon successfully opens the active, existing window of
gedit, but it also opens a new tab with an untitled document, moving the focus
away from the tab with the document that was actually in the process of being
edited before switching windows.
This makes it very hard to continue editing when switching back to the
gedit window is so disruptive.
