Curiouser and curiouser ....

Apparently indeed sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
On a quick test -- invoke "synchronize with repository" from the
context menu, let it switch to the CVS perspective, then switch
back to the Java perspective -- control-F8 works as desired.
However, recently I switched to the CVS perspective, did some
things (reviewed changes and committed them), and tried to switch
back to the Java perspective, and ....  Nothing.  control-F8 did
nothing, and neither did control-F7.  I did discover that there's
a Navigate submenu under Window that offers a "next perspective"
option, and *that* works, and it can be done from the keyboard,
which is good to know.

But "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't" is a bit --
puzzling?  bothersome?
