Description

Expected Behavior

The "connection with options"/"connect without credentials" sub-menu should open a new session window, even if a window is already open for this machine with another session...

Current Behavior

If no window session opened, the "connect without credentials" open a new window it's ok,
but if a window is already opened for this machine, the menu do not open a new window !

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. open a ssh session window on a linux machine, with credentials.
  2. choose sub menu "connection with options"/"connect without credentials" for the same machine.

--> it focus on the previous window rather than open a new window

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the "connection with options" and "connect without credentials" menu entries described in the report, first with an existing SSH session for the same machine. Trace the menu handlers and session-window reuse behavior. Done means selecting the submenu opens a separate session window instead of focusing the existing one.
