I don't see this, but it sounds like something that was fixed before the 
release of 2.2.0, so maybe there's another way to generate the same problem.

Could you give more detail:

  - are you running in the default MDI mode (one big window containing 
the console, editor, etc.) or SDI mode (separate windows)?

  - does it matter what was in the file you opened?
