Build Identifier: I20120127-1145

In 3.x, recently opened editors (classes or resources etc...) were always visible as tabs (depending on the width of the editor area). 
Apparently, in 4.x editors are ordered depending on which one was opened first. There is no preference for editors recently used. If you edit class A, then switch to class B, one would expect class A to be visible as tab next to class B. This is not the case if multiple editors are opened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a number of editors (for example several classes), so that the dropdown list is activated (not enough space for all tabs to show)
2. Switch between the tabs and the elements of the dropdown list or reopen the classes previously selected/opened.
3. The editor does not accumulate the editors that have been opened recently as visible tabs.

Thank you. I was not aware that a theme change also causes diff. behaviour.
