I see a rather peculiar behavior when there are multiple IDEA projects open. Suppose I have two projects open in two different frames in two different desktops(Virtual: Linux). When I try to create a file, I get a dialog box prompt to "Add to SVN" in the other frame. Before I could realize this I repeated the action 10 times. Now there are ten prompts open in the other. When I answered the first prompt It created the file successfully. The subsequent prompts didn't close. When I tried to close them, it resulted in another dialog saying "File cannot be created. File exists already" in the first frame. I had to switch back and forth till all these are gone.
