Xcode 4 IDE

I am new to the Xcode 4 IDE and I ran into a problem which is an annoyance.

When I create a new project and click (single click) on any of the files (Viewcontroller.h, *.m, *.xib) the files open within the IDE.  No problem here, but if I click on the same file again rather than opening the same window within the IDE it opens a new window.

You may say whats the problem?

The problem is if you are using gestures like I am using within Xcode 4 this starts to build up.  So the problem is that I have several windows open of the same file and I don't know how to remove the view or window of this file.

Remember this is within the Xcode 4 IDE, so there is no radio button to 'X' out.

Any ideas on how I can remove this window or configure Xcode 4 to open the same window rather then created a new one?

In Xcode goto Preferences -> General then choose "same as click" for "Double Click Navigation"

Sorry, I have been out of town.

I tried what you said and that does not seem to work.

I am still able to open multiple windows within the IDE regarding the same file.
Did you choose "same as click" for double clicks in preferences?
If you have chosen it, it should work properly, I have checked this.
