#810 Clicking on stacktrace line opens new tab for an open file

When I click on a stacktrace line in the Console to navigate to the indicated code position, Pydev always opens a new editor tab, even if one is already open for the same file. This happens even though I have checkmarked "Run / Debug -> Reuse editor when displaying source code" (which I suppose refers to the behavior I want).

With the two tabs open, I edit in one of them, then ctrl-tab around and notice that the other one is there because it complains that it is out of sync. At least they notice, so one doesn't clobber the work done in the other. Still, this is obtrusive.

Also, with the two tabs open, highlighting becomes incorrect, apparently because it is mixed up between the two tabs.

This is in 1.3.25 on Eclipse 3.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.5, with Pydev Extensions also installed.
