This is an issue that comes up every day with me and is just generally annoying. If you initially open a file in emacs (say test.php), C-x C-f to select another file (say test2.php), then when you've opened test2.php, you C-x C-f again and hit the up arrow to get the last file, emacs says "No preceding file found" or something similar, when it should allow you to hit the up arrow and get the original test.php file that was being edited first. Please take a look at addressing this issue as I have spoken to other emacs users that believe this would be a good change to the current behavior. If there is some flag I need to set that allows the first file opened to be placed in the history list, then please educate me as to what it is because I cannot find any information on this issue anywhere.
