Build 20020610

- open many different editors (> 70)
- hit Ctrl+F6
- the top and bottom of the switcher are off screen
- the initial selection is not visible

Should limit the size of the switchers, e.g. to 25 items.
MRU order becomes unusable with > 5-10 items anyway.

For the case of the editor switcher, the editors dialog can pick up where the 
switcher leaves off.

See bug 28775 for request to increase size of editor list as large as 
necessary.  This is in contrast to the proposal for this bug.
