Description Ed Willink CLA 2011-12-21 04:19:43 EST 
M4: In Eclipse 3.x when too many editors were open to display all the tabs, the most recent were shown. The e4 behaviour seems to emulate Microsoft Visual Studio by showing the most useless.

In particular, while editing file A, select file B from the pull-down and file A immediately disappears.

The tab order is now in the order in which the files were opened similar to what you see in a browser.

I'm not sure if this is what Visual Studio does since I've not used VS before. It is also not clear from your comment how a tab is deemed useless or not.
