Description
When opening a table workspace, it should check to see if it is already open and bring that instance to the front of the screen.
What it does at the moment if one is created is create a new one and brings the new one to the front. Feedback from users say that this is complicated because they may have many windows open all containing the same table workspace information.

What is meant by opening a table workspace? Is it 'show data'?
comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by Robert Whitley
Yeah it is show data. Sorry the explanation isn't that great and it took me a while to remember what the problem was.
To summarise,
When you click show data from a table workspace it should check to see if the table is already open and bring that window to the front of the screen. The link below shows what it currently is doing. (Creating a new instance every time you click show data)

Thank you for making this clear. I am aware that this situation applies to other workspaces too.

I wonder Why only table workspaces? When a table workspace has 'Show data' applied, it shows the data staight away. If a maxtrix workspace has 'Show data' applied a dialog box asking "Set Histogram Range to Load" appears. A user may want to look several different histogram ranges from the same workspace. Therefore the requested change cannot be applied to matrix workspaces without checking that the histogram range is the same as in a previous display.
This justifies applying the requested change only to table workspaces or any other type of workspace without a dialog box in its 'Show data' method.

- Summary changed from Opening table workspace does not make a new table if there is already one created. to Opening table workspace to not make a new table if one is already created.
Rename to sound like an enhancement rather than a defect and be shorter.
