Description Heiko Tietze 2021-09-07 07:33:27 UTC
Spin-off from bug 143482 (with some better demonstrations): Master document relies on the Navigator listing all the sub-documents. However there is no connection between the currently selected section (containing the sub-document) and the entry in the Navigator making it very hard to see what file needs to be edited.

We should highlight the corresponding item.

Jim, I thought you might be interested in this issue.

You're welcome! Section tracking has also been added to the Navigator content navigation view as ongoing effort to resolve bug 95378.
