Multi-tile editor tabs

Hi,

Is it possible to have the file-tabs shared for the editors, like it was before 2013b? If not: is it possible to put the file-tabs for two editor tiles in a single column?

Motivation: for me and for all my colleagues in science with dual-monitor setup, a typical Matlab editor (pre-2013b) looks like (except for the colours):

Many files are open (usually even more than here), but they can be nicely seen as a list at the left. However, with the "great idea" to link tabs to each editor, one gets:

which really wastes loads of screen-space and is really unworkable. The alternative is also quite horrible:

When having the tabs above or below, usually many open files cannot be displayed in the tabs. Instead, these are hidden in two +N buttons on the upper left of each editor field (for N unseen files). So when you want to find one of your open files, not only you have to first open an extra drop-down menu (by clicking on the +N button), but there is 50% chance that you have to do this twice, since the file you are looking for may be attached to the other editor!

I find this a truly horrible design choice. Especially since most people I know that use Matlab professionally (spread around three different Universities in Europe(!)) have wide-sceen monitors with two editor tiles open and use it as in my first screen shot (most did not upgrade their Matlabs yet).

So my question again: Is it possible to go back to the pre-2013 editor and have shared tabs across editing windows? If instead the tabs are from now forever linked to the editor by design, is it at least possible to put the tabs for the two editor underneath each other? Like this photoshopped mock-up below?

Thanks, Jasper

Was there ever a fix to this problem? A lab I work in upgraded from 2012b to 2013b (a couple years late but oh well) and this new tab interface is atrocious. Further you can't see the full path and file name to the open m-file in the editor anymore. Say you're comparing your code vs a fellow engineers this can get confusing and annoying.
