gedit lately suddenly started to open new files in new windows and it is really frustrating to me. I searched graphical preferences, preferences listed by How to change gedit preferences from terminal? and I also tried to uninstall gedit, remove all gedit files/folders in $HOME and reinstall gedit back, but nothing of that didn't help.

Uninstall needs to be a "purge" to remove personal settings ;) – Rinzwind May 12 '18 at 12:13

I uninstall everything using purge, but in case of gedit it just didn't work. Maybe a bug? – aleskva May 12 '18 at 12:38

What version of Ubuntu do you use? Is it clean install or upgrade? – N0rbert May 13 '18 at 08:24

Gedit settings are saved in GSettings or DConf, so you can reset them with the following command:
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/gedit/
