Visual Studio adds :1 to title

Today I updated to Visual Studio 2019 16.7.6 now I saw, that on the tab riders of code files there is the name and a ":1" added to it, like "Skaarhoj.vb:1". Does anybody know what that is?

  • It's visible when you have multiple views/windows (tabs) open for the same file.
    • Note that this is not the same thing as the split-view you can activate by dragging the handle at the top of the vertical scrollbar.
    • This is not a new feature - I can remember using it in VS2013, possibly VS2010.
  • The first window/tab has :1, the second has :2 and so on.
  • You can open new windows for most (but not all) files and file-types via (VS Main Menu) > Window > New Window
  • Note that not all editors/file-types support having multiple windows open simultaneously, so that menu item may appear disabled for some files.
