If you have a large number of entries in the Database Builder display, you can't locate the selected (but unloaded) schema in the project browser without loading the schema first.

Either the Project Browser should track the selection in the Database Builder or you should be able to select the item in the DBB and have a context menu option to locate it in the Project Browser.  Also the usual [Alt+G] shortcut key should be available - it's not.

Reported,
Paolo

Exploring a bit further, while the bug reported is still valid, it turns out that you can select a schema folder in the Project Browser and if the DBB is NOT open, it will open with the Schema selected.  If the DBB is open, then, unfortunately, it doesn't track.   :-X

We need a two-way alignment.  So, if I select a schema in the Project Browser, selecting the "Database Builder" menu item, it means I want open (load) it in DBB (regardless of whether the "Database Builder" menu item is ticked or not).

[EDIT: Oh, and the selected schema should be visible in the browser window, not require the user to scroll up or down to find it...  >:(]
