It appears that pressing Ctrl-Tab repeatedly does not cycle focus through all the tabs but only between the two tabs that were last to be clicked on.
After opening a file in new window, I opened several more files via File - Open Tab menu command. Whatever tab I'm on, I can only cycle back and forth with the immediate previously-clicked tab.
