| backward history -- alt + left -- only working sometimes [message #1479626] |

When editing java class files in eclipse, I can put my editing cursor on a class name and press F3, and it would take me to the java file containing the declaration for that class.
I also used to be able to then press alt+left, and it would take me back to the location where I was when I pressed F3.
I'm at a new job with a new eclipse (Kepler) installation, and it doesn't do that. It takes me somewhere, but not back to the previous editor location.
I find it incredibly annoying not to be able to leave my editor for this purpose without having to remember (or write down) where I was so I can get back.
I've checked the key bindings, and the key is bound to "backward history", so it isn't that it is bound to something else. It's as if the F3 operation is not registering with eclipse as an occasion to push the current location onto whatever stack of locations it uses for this.
Does anyone else experience this, or better yet know how to set it to its previous behavior?
