Display only recently modified tabs when editing multiple files in Eclipse 4

In Eclipse 3.x, if you were working on say 60 files at once, but you were only editing 4 in a particular session, then the tabs for these four would tend to stay displayed throughout. For example: if I edit tab 1, and then tab 60, tab 1 will still be displayed and I can switch back to it quickly.

However in Eclipse 4.x, it seems displayed tabs have no relevance to editing history. For example: if I edit tab 1, and then edit tab 60, tab 1 will not be displayed: I will have to use the dropdown to re-select it.

Is there any way to restore the functionality of Eclipse 3.x, in that recent or session tabs stay displayed when switching between documents?

This is intended behaviour for the new Windows 7 style of Eclipse 4: see Eclipse bug 389169.

You can restore the previous behaviour - and also the previous style - by selecting the Classic theme in General > Appearance.
