Simply Opening the Same File Twice??? Seriously you guys, wtf.

[sawyermade]

Can someone explain to me why I can't open the same file twice, or can't even open the same file in two separate windows without doing some insane crap that doesnt make any sense like dupe'n the whole damn workspace?

What exactly you want to do and how you expect it should work?

You can split editor into 2 editor groups or you can use View: Copy Editor into New Window command to open in aux windows already
