A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I use the 'shell scripts' feature from the JetBrains Toolbox (JBT) a lot. I think that since the Android Studio (AS) 4.2 upgrade it started behaving differently:

- :arrow_left: Before, when running `studio .` (e.g. in a repo root) it would open AS in that directory. Running it again would open the existing AS project window.
- :arrow_right: After, when running `studio .` it opens the project in a _new_ AS window _every time_, even if there already is an open window for the project.

This is an issue, because during the day I run `studio .` quite often and I end up with too many windows for the same project!

Do you have this problem too?
Do you know how to fix this?
Is this and AS or JBT issue?

It does happen with JBT 1.20.8352, macOS 10.14.6, AS 4.2.1.
It does not happen with IDEA 2021.1.1.
That doesn't necessarily put the blame on AS, but it might be related.

I figured that it's likely better to create an issue on :youtrack: for this, so there it is: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-6189>
