Designer window and LightSpeed Model window out-of-sync

As I click through each entity via Designer window, the selected entity in LightSpeed Model window is not updated, and vice versa.

The selection being "out of sync" is expected, as these two selections are independent.

If the actual data displayed is out of sync, that may be a bug (though it may be a Visual Studio bug, as the model tree is provided by Visual Studio).

If you don't mind me asking, why is the selection independent between the two window when they are just different way to look/explore the model - graph view vs tree view?  Am I missing something here?

Various reasons.  One of the considerations is that the selection in the model explorer may not be represented on the designer (e.g. external class references), or not represented in a selectable way (e.g. validations).  Another is how to show selection given that the tree is not normally fully open (e.g. if you select a property in the designer, should the tree expand to make that property visible?  If not, how would the selection be shown in the tree?).

But ultimately I admit it's that the tree (as mentioned) is actually realised by Visual Studio rather than being hand-coded, and that's the way VS chose to do things.  (Unsynced selection is after all the norm in VS.  For example, if you have two windows (or a splitter) open on the same source file, you can make different selections in those two windows.  When I switch between files in the editor, that doesn't change the selection in Solution Explorer.)  We don't feel strongly enough to spend time overriding the way Visual Studio does things; we'd look at it only if customers clearly felt that there was a major issue here.

Thanks Ivan, for explaining the design decision, it's not a major issue at all.

I'd rather you guys to spend time on the actual features and documentation than the designer :-)
