Use Case: I open Editor E1 and E2 in my environment. Then I proceed to open editors E3...E20. Then I close editors E3...E20. Then I close editor E2. At this point I realize that I actually wanted to carry on working on editor E2, but it's not in the File menu's list of recently used editors anymore. This is fairly common for me - I have a small set of files that I work on a lot, and then a number of other files I open briefly. If I accidentally close one of my "a lot" files, there is no way to get back to it quickly. This appears to be a problem because my mental model of the recently used files list is "files I worked on most recently", but the code appears to using a FIFO and adding files to the FIFO at editor __open time__, leading to the scenario outlined above. Proposed solution: At editor close time, add it to the FIFO again (obviously removing it if it is still in the FIFO). This should make recently closed editors "newer" in the FIFO and less likely to get bumped off.
