Description Sam Davis CLA 2012-01-13 19:20:53 EST 
* Activate tasks A,B,C in order
* With Task C active, push Activate Previous Task in the toolbar. Task B is activated.
* Push it again, Task A is activated even though Task C is the previous task.

Based on the order of tasks in the menu and the name of the button, I would expect Task C to be activated. I suppose the icon suggests the actual behaviour, but I think the icon and behaviour should be changed.

The order of the menu is weird since it doesn't show what is going to happen. We should also consider showing the the task that is to be activated in the tooltip like the editor history.

I think if this is going to work like the back button in a web browser, it would make sense to also have a forward button, although that would take up more space.
