Description Andrew Draper CLA 2012-12-06 05:37:14 EST 
Eclipse used to remember which editor tabs I had recently used and keep them on the tab bar.

The old behaviour was that when I switched to a new file the old file was available in the tabs.  Searching around, this was apparently called MRU tab behaviour.

Since I upgraded to Juno the tab order policy has changed so that when I switch to a new file the tabs rearrange themselves randomly and my old file is lost.

Can we have the old behaviour back please?

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11255389/retain-previous-open-file-tab-under-visible-tabs/12642761#12642761 for ways to get it back.
