All source files are in the same folder. I select in the finder all the source files and double-click to open them simultaneously. TS opens all the source files plus *two* copies of the PDF. The second copy is opened if I have selected a chapter and the root file. If I select only the root file or only chapters, TS opens only one PDF. This happened reproducibly.
