Description tomzi 2013-08-21 11:05:26 UTC 
In the 'Show Opened Documents List' dopdown, which shows all opened documents usually there is a '<-' for the file that is currently selected. However many filenames are longer than the width of the columns, which results into displaying '...' at the end of each file. When this happens then the '<-' disappears. Thus it is not possible to see the currently open file anymore.

In any case the '<-' is REALLY hard to see when many files are open. Please find some other means of displaying the currently open file, like changed background color :)
