Intellij navigating between editor tabs/splitters does not work?

I am editing with two vertical tabs. The 

Window | Editor Tabs | Goto next splitter

has no effect - the editing cursor remains in the present Editor Tab. For curiosity's sake I also tried "Goto previous splitter" - that also has no effect.

Is there something I am missing here? Any other shortcut / method to use keystrokes (not Mouse!) to navigate between Editor Tabs?

Note: Ctrl-E is not reliable for this - it sometimes goes to different documents in the same Editor Tab.

UPDATE

Apparently the editor "sort of" changes splitters: the titlebar and the Navigation panel change to the file in the other splitter. But the cursor does not move! The cursor stays in the original place - in the original splitter/editor tab! So then what the heck use is it to change splitters - I can not edit or navigate in the new splitter!

There are at least two other ways to do similar things as "Goto next/previous splitter".

You could try the "switcher" (Ctrl-Tab, OS X & Win) to switch between specific files.

IntelliJ Switcher

Similarly, you can try the "Recent Files" (Ctrl+E, Win; ⌘E, OS X)

IntelliJ Recent Files

But whatever is causing the cursor to not follow the "Goto next/previous splitter" might make it not follow these options, either...
