FWIW, this has been a problem ever since I wrote the plugin. In some
situations it looks like sublime is sending out the signals the plugin
uses to be notified about view-changes even if no view change happened
which causes the view to be moved up and others down in the list. IIRC
this happens especially when closing files.
