Re: PHP Early Access forgets tab settings

I'm sure it's just a bug, as this does not happen to me in the Java
version of the IDE, only in the PHP Early release.

I might have to drop the PHP version until it becomes more stable. With
8 or so files open, you can sit, doing nothing, and watch it eat up
memory. Eventually, it pigs out and becomes unusable. Nice to see what's
coming for PHP programmers, but it's not quite ready to be used for
production.

It's close, though.
