In Intellij 13 the main code window showed all my open classes (their names flowed onto multiple lines), but now in Intellij 14 it shows a little dropdown and only shows them on one line. Is there a setting I can change to get it to flow to multiple lines again?

In Preferences, under Editor > General > Editor Tabs
, untick the "Show tabs in single row" option.

IntelliJ IDEA 15
File > Settings... or press Ctrl + Alt + S
Editor > General > Editor Tabs > Show tabs in single row
If your work with a small number of file types, I recommend you to check the Hide file extension in editor tabs, too. I usually work with Java and XML files and I can easily recognize them because only the Java file names are in camel case.
