Synopsis: New class is created in occupied tab

Description

A new class added to the project takes the tab of an already open class even when focus is set to an empty editor tab.
As an option there should be a possibility to open a new tab automatically whenever a new class is added.

To Reproduce

1. Open a compiled project.
2. Open several editor windows with classes.
3. Open an empty editor tab and set focus to it.
4. Add a new class.
5. Observe that the new class replaces one of the already used tabs, the empty tab remains empty.
Expected result: the new class is placed in the empty tab.

Hi, Manu, Alexander,

I think the patch should works and would not fire new bug. It's committed in revision#83397. So the bug is fixed. 

Thanks for your report.

Was this tested by someone else? I'm afraid this will have to wait the next release.
