I'm not sure this counts a bug, I'll let the maintainer decide. Assigning to him.

I can reproduce this issue on my v6 x86-64 Xfce desktop, but I don't think it's a bug. New instances may have their own state, and if you want the names of the documents to be different, then you should save them (which is a good idea to do as soon as possible anyway). Resolving.

the issue is more that: starting multiple instances from the launcher all titles are the same. starting new instances from within an existing Abiword window using "new" results in incrementing "*untitled(n)" this is an inconsistancy. yes? bug. no?

It is apparently incapable of finding the name of an unsaved document, unless you start the new document from it. That sounds quite normal to me. As Shlomi said, you should save new documents as soon as possible. That's a good habit to help prevent unneeded loss of documents and of what's in them. I don't see why the Abiword developers or our Abiword maintainer should fix a "bug" that only exists if you have a bad habit ;-)

It's not really a bug and not really a serious one at that.
