    I’ve been puzzling over this same problem for awhile now, and for some reason I can’t find much about it when I do a Google search. It’s true that stationary docs *did* open an untitled copy in the past. Why the change?

    My workaround has been to put the stationary document in a stack, accessed from the dock (or even put the stationary doc in the dock directly). When I open the stationary doc through the dock in this way, it functions as it should – an untitled doc opens. When I double-click from the finder, it makes the copy as you described at the beginning of the article.

    Would love to see a fix for this sometime!

    Thanks for the tip.

    I wish I knew why they changed the stationery feature!
