Opening a Statistics data file via double-click or drag-to-dock results in two copies of the data file being opened.

Troubleshooting


Problem

You are using IBM SPSS Statistics on a MacOS operating system. When opening a Statistics data file by double-clicking the data file or dragging the data file to the Statistics program icon on the Dock two copies of the file are automatically opened. One file has the original file name, but second file is labeled 'Untitled' followed by a number. This behavior is not exhibited when using the File -> Open -> Data option within the Statistics program.
