For developer, in order to prevent Brackets source changes from breaking Brackets, he/she will need to test the changes in a new Brackets window. The Debug -> New Brackets Window is the solution, however, the new Brackets window doesn't have the changes yet. Reload Brackets is needed for the changes to take effect.

Please let new Brackets window to be pre-reloaded.

@zanqi the "New Window" functionality is experimental and not intended to be fully functional at this time. This user story covers the improvements we would make in this area.

Now that #1744 is fixed, at least you can reload the second window and have it pick up all changes. One could argue that the existing functionality, where we always open up a window that is functional, is the right thing to do. If the newly opened window was always reloaded, it would be non-functional if the code had breaking changes in it.
