David,

First of all, the feature "no-click" inspection is a feature of Inspection Gadget which works with either Constellation OR the Rev script/prop editors.

We USED TO select the object during no-click inspection--if the pointer was chosen.

However: that became problematic because the user didn't explicitly select the object and sometimes said user took subsequent actions to do something to the selected object they hadn't intended--like delete it with an accidental backspace or something!

SO...now we don't select the object during no-click inspection, but there are three clear indications as to the identity of the current object you're working IF you're using Constellation:

1. The TITLE of Constellation's window has the full name of the object you're editing.
2. The TAB that is dedicated to that object has the name of the object
3. The PREVIEW (or copy) of the object is shown

We figured after all that, it wasn't necessary to select the object during no-click inspection and risk the user forgetting that the object WAS selected.

Hope that helps.

Jerry
