I see.

Well, it's not a bug. There is no such concept as a current db (or table 
or other item) in the new navigation. The only "current" thing that 
there is implemented is the current page in the db pagination. So if you 
open something in a new tab, at least the db that the item displayed on 
the page is associated with will be on the correct page in the navigation.

As far as implementing anything new goes, I think that the issue with 
MaxNavigationItems that is discussed in a different thread should be 
addressed first, as it will change some of the underlying logic of the 
navigation system.

Actually, Marc, would you please file this issue as a feature request 
and the other one as a bug on the tracker. Thanks.

Bye,
Rouslan
