It will make it the activeEditor ... which isn't the same as making it 
active, the same way when you link with editor and click on an file in 
the package explorer, the associated open editor comes to the top ... 
but the package explorer is still active.

The bug is bringing to secondary window to the front?  and it didn't use 
to do this in 3.2?

It always made the new editor the active editor (just not the active part).
