Build 2.1RC1

When lots of editors are opened, it can occur that the active editor tab isn't 
visible, and need to be revealed using the scroll buttons to find hidden tabs.

When an editor gains focus, the tab list should always ensure the active editor 
tab is visible. This prevents me from closing such an editor quickly.

Is this the case where the close box is not visible on the last editor?  That 
is the active editor is the last tab, and it is covered partially by the scroll 
arrows such that the close box is not visible?

You can always use ctrl-f4 to close the current active editor.
