This only happens when Sigil is not already running when I open the file

Read the rest of the thread, please. It's not a bug. It's the intended behavior on OS X

Hi,
This is not a bug. This is expected behaviour on the Mac and has been since the very beginning.

Thanks for the clarification, but to be honest, I’m not used to this kind of behaviour so I’m confused as to how it’s default or expected

If I start up my computer and click on a .txt file, how many documents are open? Just one. Yes, if I had launched TextEdit, and then gone to open my file, I would have ended up with two. That’s what I understand as mac default.

At any rate, I think that way is better. If I open up a file to edit, why would I want a blank epub lurking in the background? To save me the trouble of opening one if I need one later? Frankly I would call it a bug, because it’s far more likely to be an annoyance than a help.

My example was terrible - TextEdit nowadays replaces the empty document loaded on startup with any document I then immediately open. To me this is ideal behaviour, but I wouldn’t say it’s expected.

Hi,
Sorry but it is not going to change.
