    Description

      I am creating an application with CPP and using the Qt Widget Designer for the user interface.
      When I use the search window in MSVS for a certain widget object and scroll through the results, for each hit that refers to the GUI-file that same GUI-file is opened. So, if there are 10 references to that widget, MSVS opens 10 times that same window.

      I did contact Microsoft about this. They suggested this: "Could you please set "Run in detached window" to "False" via Extension > Qt VS Tools > Options and re-check this issue "

      But, the option "Run in detached window" was already set to false. MSVS seems to ignore that.
      I tried to set it to True and than back to False again. I don't see any difference.
      I see the same behavior on my other machine...

      They replied: This issue seems to be caused by QT Tools for Visual Studio not Visual Studio. Please file a ticket with that product at https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTVSADDINBUG/issues/QTVSADDINBUG-878?filter=allopenissues.

      So, here I am. Are there any suggestions?

      I will attach a video to show the problem.
