Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I would like to be able to properly synchronize between mapped and raw regions. For example, when one view contains PE/Hex and the other Raw/Hex, the synchronization does not reflect the mapping. Address 40000 in PE/Hex does not point to 0 in Raw/Hex and vice versa.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with PE/Hex and Raw/Hex views, using the example addresses 40000 and 0 to observe the current synchronization. Trace how mapped and raw regions translate addresses; done means both views select the corresponding location in each representation.
