    If I double-click a SQL file from my MacOS desktop it always launches a new instance of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) regardless of whether or not it is already running. If I open the file from the Windows VM it reuses the existing instance, so the issue is only when launching from MacOS. I have changed the default application in MacOS and then changed it back to SSMS to make sure the file association was set correctly, but there was no change. It had been working fine for years so it was only recently that this behavior began. Any ideas?
