Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2007-03-26 12:02:15 EDT 
When you have too many editors than space for tabs, you get a dropdown with a list of all the available editors.  Those whose tabs aren't visible are indicated in bold.  We should not use bold in this case; its should only be used to indicate an item has changed.

+1.  It took me forever to figure out the meaning of that bolding and everyone
I asked afterwards did not know what it meant.  Putting in a horizontal
separator (e.g.  "---------- Invisible ----------") would be much more obvious
and not waste the use of bold on this.
