When selecting a recent project from the File > Recent projects sub-menu, the recent project opens in the currently focused project tab, closing the project that is currently there. Could we have a setting, please, to have recent projects open in a tab of their own?
This has been requested before:

And strangely enough, in this 2012 thread
https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=993518 it is claimed that the opening of a recent project follows the setting "Open in new project tab" on the Open project menu, but it does not work that way here (W7x64, Reaper v6.23/x64). If it did, that would work fine for me.
