Description

When the explorer sidebar is open, opening an editor updates the explorer to show highlight the edited file name.
No so with an issue notebooks. This lack of consistency may be considered a bug. Otherwise this issue report is an RFE.

Thx for this tool useful in itself but as code sample as well

Research direction

Start by tracing how the explorer sidebar highlights the currently opened regular editor, then compare that flow with issue notebook editor activation. Done means opening an issue notebook causes its file name to be highlighted in the explorer sidebar consistently with other editors.
