Thanks.

BTW, I ran into a coredump when opening new tab. To recreate, disable
'Hide Tab Bar...', then click on the '+' tab. Here's my quick fix on
top of my earlier one:

diff --git a/source/window.c b/source/window.c

         tab = tabList[cbs->pos];
         RaiseDocument(TabToWindow(tab));
     } else {

-        if (!window)
-            window = TabToWindow(tabList[cbs->pos - 2]);
+        WindowInfo *window = GetTopDocument(w);
         EditNewFile(window, NULL, False, NULL, window->path);
         CheckCloseDim();
         cbs->allowActivate = 0;

The patch also open the new tab using the path of the top/active
document, which I feel it's more consistent with original nedit
behavior on opening new tab.

It's been some time since I last looked at nedit source code, so I'm
not sure if I might miss out something here.
