@kad: That's the intended behavior. We don't ever swap out what you're using viewing within the navigation pane. What if you've got a custom view in the navigation pane? Or a filtered set of topics? Should we discard that to show you the topic/article in a list that it actually appears within? That seems inappropriate to us, and it further introduces the complications of the user being able to instantly recognize how to get back to the previous view. So the behavior is limited to showing the content within the current navigation pane only if it exists there.
We intend to extend this mechanism further. There are times you'll want to use the "center on" mechanism with navigation views like plots and smart images. We don't have this in place yet, but imagine being able to "highlight" the map pin or plot point that references the topic/article currently being shown in the content pane. That could be extremely useful IMHO!
Hope this makes sense!
