Description Scott Violet 2006-04-26 23:45:47 UTC 
NetBeans maintains an ordering of the files you've visited. This is extremely
useful when doing control-tab to switch among files. Problems is that closing a
tab (either via control-w or clicking the close button on the tab) does not
select the last file in the stacking order, rather it selects based on tab
order. While this makes sense from a keep the item at index x selected
perspective, it breaks the perspective that you keep an ordering of the files
and would pick the last one I visited and is totally not expected. Please make
closing a tab select the last file I visited, regardless of what index it is in
the tab list.

No this is strange - I never saw such functionality in any application and I
personally would be confused if closing a tab would start some scrolling and
selecting other tab miles away.
I don't support this, but sending to HIE engineers as a thought anyway.
