This is inherited behavior from the gtk notebook widget; we plan to fix 
it, but it's a bit of work to do so.  I find that ctrl-tab, open from 
project, or one of the switch document commands are better ways to 
switch between files when more that a few are open (I typically end up 
with 30+ in a typical session).

We also plan to look at how navigation menus work.
