Description John Arthorne CLA 2001-10-10 22:23:43 EDT 
I find it annoying that when you close an editor, it automatically expands
the navigator to reveal and select the file for the next open editor.  Closing
one editor does not necessarily mean I want to immediately start working
in another one.  It interrupts workflow because the navigator suddenly jumps
to another spot and you lose the context you were working in.

This is particularly annoying when doing comparisons and catchup/releases,
which use editors.  Every time I finish releasing, the navigator jumps to some
random file that I happen to have an editor open for.
