Alpha 3 introduces a strange behavior with reopening pages at startup: whenever I launch a new instance with -runextra from a shortcut (actually an addon button which calls directly avant.exe -runextra, it's quicker than from the File menu that I also keep hidden) I get the "Reopen" window showing all the currently open pages in the previous instance. Note that "previous" means just that, not the first: if I open instance 0 everything is OK, then I open instance 1 and get asked if I want to reopen the pages in instance 0 ("because Avant did not shutdown properly..."), instance 2 asks for pages in instance 1 and so on. Apart from Alpha 2, which I almost didn't test and cannot confirm, this has NEVER happened and it's quite annoying.

Also note that this seems to happen only once per instance, that is when I open instance n+1 I get asked for pages in instance n, then I close instance n+1, open it again and I don't get asked anymore; but if after that, from instance n+1 I open instance n+2 I get asked again.

Whenever a new instance of Avant is opened, a .opg file is created in the profile folder, containing all the currently opened files: it seems the new (n+1) instance is reading the most recent .opg file because it sees it's there. I don't remember exactly how this worked in previous versions, but for sure it didn't affect opening new instances.
