In 3.x Ctrl-E would be equivalent to clicking the ">> 42" button popping up a list from which to select an open editor. In 4.x I see this split into two separate features each having its specific usability issues: Ctrl-E gives a list that can run over the screen boarders. As one effect of this the field for typing a name prefix is not visible and when reducing the list to only a few entries none of them are visible => I can't use this strategy for selection. Clicking the >> button gives a menu-like list, which is truncated, unordered and doesn't respond to any keys. I don't know how I can use this to efficiently find an editor in a long list. Only Ctrl-Shift-E works to satisfaction in these regards. I should mention I'm on Kubuntu 11.04.
I will fix the Ctrl+E issue for M5. Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention, Stephan.

Verified with I20120123-2200 on Windows 7 that the shell is now bounded within the monitor's size.
