We use DB Builder to reverse engineer our databases.  In this process, we can select NOT to import all schemas, but only those we are interested in.
We normally then use the DB Builder "Show Differences" to ensure that we have got ALL the differences.

Today we discovered a typical problem - self inconsistency!

Although you can select a subset of the schemas on the initial reversal, as far as we can see, there is NO mechanism to do the same for "Show Differences".  This makes the option effectively useless!

Is this a "new" feature of version 16 or was it a known problem with v15?

I suspect it's always been there.
We just never came across it before this week.
We also confirmed it is there with v15 (since we needed to have the functionality working).
