When in outline view, you can click on a slide in the Slide pane and it will move the cursor in the outline view area to the related slide, but when you click a title or bullet in the outline view area, it doesnt move the highlight in the Slide pane to the corresponding slide.
Agree, there is a UI breakage, see no reason the navigation should not be linked in both elements.
Unfortunately, mouse events are still causing issues when creating UI tests.
