Shows how the focus is lost from the current slide in the "Slides" pane

In the "Notes" view, the current slide is highlighted in the "Slides" pane.

But once I click inside the "Notes" pane, this highlight vanishes. Thus I lose sight of where I am in the presentation. Even if I switch to the "Slides" pane, the highlight is not restored.

There is a workaround, though: While editing in the "Notes" pane, I have to press PgUp or PgDown. Now the "slides" pane starts showing the highlight again. 

But at this stage, the focus is neither in the "Slides" pane nor in the "Notes" pane! 

   * If the focus is in "Slides" pane, I should be able to switch between slides by pressing the Up/Down arrows, not by pressing PgUp and PgDown!

   * If the focus is in the "Notes" pane, I should be able to move around the pane and also edit the text.

But I am not able to do either of the above!

I have to explicitly go to the "Slides" pane or the "Notes" pane by clicking there. Till that time, I am in neither of the panes.

Desired: 
1. Even when I am working in the "Notes" pane, the current slide should be marked with a dotted line, to signify that this is the current slide, but my focus is in a different pane.

2.If I am in the "Notes" pane of a slide, and if I press PgUp or PgDown, Impress should take me directly to the notes section of the previous/next slide.
That way, I can remain in the "Notes" mode, and edit the notes for all slides in one go.

Reproduced.
My first try didn't lose the highlight, but all my other tries did, so watch out, reproducers.

I confirm this is still present in the current (7.1.5) version
It's been fixed quite recently in the main editor "Normal" mode, but not the "Notes" mode.

1. Go into the Notes view, with the Slides pane visible.

2. Select a slide, from the left, and then click into the slide and start typing.

3. In the left, you can no longer see which slide you're working on. 

i.e the UI has correctly given mouse-focus to the notes field, but has incorrectly stopped highlighting the background of the active slide.

This looked promising, since knowing what have fixed a similar case could radically simplify fixing this one. So I tested 5.0.0.5, 6.0.0.3, and 7.0.0.3 on Windows to see if standard mode suffered a similar problem in those. But in all those I couldn't see that problem in normal mode.

If you know a specific version that suffered from the similar problem in another mode, but had fixed in 7.1, please mention the version here. Thanks!

After switching to the Notes view the currently active slide remains in focus. But after another slide is selected the highlighting disappears after clicking somewhere.
