When I'm editing an untitled buffer and call File > New, the edited buffer is lost from the buffer list.

    Hi, it is fixed in the trunk now, thanks for testing the bufferSet feature

    Thanks for the fix!

    The handling of untitled buffers is still a little strange (probably not bufferSets related issue), though.

    When you close all buffers and have only the default "Untitled-1" buffer opened, then the C+n changes the name of the buffer to "Untitled-2" (3, 4, ...), but in the buffer list is visible only the last one.

    When you save or make the "Untitled-1" buffer dirty, then the New file action always creates new buffer, which also appears in the buffer list.

    if you have an untitled buffer that is not dirty, it must be empty, which means, there is already a new buffer.
    perhaps ctrl-N should do nothing under such a situation?

    I disagree. Ctrl-N should always make a new buffer. I don't want to hunt in a list for the empty one, if there is one. I'm okay with there being more than one empty, untitled buffer.

    Before the bufferSet api, here is how jEdit was doing :

    if you have 2 or more buffers, pressing ctrl+N always create a new empty buffer
    if you have 1 buffer, if it is clean and unnamed, it was closed and immediately recreated
    I think there is a reason for that : if you press ctrl+N in another directory it can be a wanted behavior to open a new untitled buffer in that directory to replace the previous one.

    And that's right that pressing ctrl+N when we have only one untitled clean buffer should not change it's number, I will open a new bug in the tracker for that
