#3510 Buffer remains with previous file path, text area is empty

[Ben Golding]

Steps to reproduce on Windows:
1 > del %USERPROFILE%\.jedit\recent.xml %USERPROFILE%\.jedit\perspective.xml
2 > jedit.exe SubmitChecks.pl file2
3 When jEdit window opens, choose File --> Exit
4 > jedit.exe
5 When jEdit window reopens, you see a 'phantom' buffer with the path of SubmitChecks.pl file, but no content.

The problem is related to perspective.xml, I think.
I also believe this bug was not in jEdit 4.3, but I'm not sure about this.
---
jEdit 4.4 server mode, using Sun Java 1.6.0_23, Win 7 64-bit, All plugins disabled
Possibly relevant setting: Global Options --> jEdit --> General --> Restore previously open files on startup is NOT checked.

Thank you for the informative report.

This sounds like a same problem with #3134215.
http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3134215
If so, the problem was fixed and the fix was merged into 4.4.x, which
means that upcoming 4.4pre1 (or a newer daily build) will work for you.

What version of jEdit are you using? The 'Version 4.4' which was released and taken down again may contain that bug but 4.4pre1 from svn (about to be released quite soon) should have that bug fixed.

I figured this one might be a duplicate, but I couldn't find it in the tracker.
Also did not realize I was running a release that had been withdrawn... :-/

So I downloaded 4.4pre1 that was just announced, confirmed this fixes the issue for me: both with plugins disabled & with my usual config which hides the buffer switcher and uses BufferTabs plugin instead.
