Project tree changes focus back to previous selection

Hi,

There is minor but frustrating GUI focus jumps in soapUI porject tree:
Steps to reproduce
1. Open SoapUI
2. Open Project with few operations with default request templates in for one or more WSDL interfaces
3. Expand operation 1/Request 1. Double click on Request 1.
4. Miximize Request 1 window.
5. Expand operation 2/Request 1. Double click on Request 1.

Similar for Test Case\Test Steps\Steps selection

Expected result: Request 1 for operation 2 is opened in maximazed window. Request 1 for operation 2 remains selected in Project tree.

Issue: Request 1 for operation 2 is opened in maximazed window, but Project tree focus returned back to operation 1 / Request 1.

It is bad for few resons:
It is not clear from current maximized request window which operation this request for. It would be helpfull to see current Operation or parent\tree in request window title (same in Test Case\Steps view no Test Case name in test step title). It is very confusing when focus jumps to some previous selection.

It is annoying issue especially if it is big project tree and focus jumps very up or very down so you need to search just selected request/test step gain.

It is reproducible in 3.6.1 Pro and Free with enabled Soap UI Preference setting Native LF = ON (Use native look & feel)
Without this setting it is not reproducible but new opened window is not miximized you need to Maximize it each time.

Same reproducible in 4.0 free beta with Native LF ON

os.arch=x86
os.name=Windows 7
os.version=6.1

java.version=1.6.0_25
java.runtime.version=1.6.0_25-b06

Just found Tabbed Desktop type setting in Pro version only and it works as expected! That is probably way to go..

Thanks,
Kirill
