Using MacBook Pro with OS X 10.11.4, I find that when "Text Edit" is opened from dock icon, a "Finder" page is brought up! đ
If I then click on "New Document" (lower left corner), a normal blank "Text Edit" window appears!
Why is "Finder" window appearing? How to fix?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
Why opening TextEdit from Dock opens to a Finder window?
That happens if TextEdit is enabled in iCloud Drive.
To open to a blank TextEdit document window when you click the TextEdit icon in the Dock:
System Preferences > iCloud Drive > Options > Documents
Uncheck the box beside âTextEditâ
Click âDoneâ.
Now TextEdit will open to a new blank document.
I keep it as default and choose âNew Documentâ from the window that opens up.
