Inventor 2021 gets lost in model browser when opening or closing a part sketch within an assembly

[erichter]

This is a particularly annoying bug that I noticed in 20201 and didn't exist in prior versions. If I open or close a sketch within a part within an assembly, the model browser will move away from the part I'm editing. I have to scroll along the browser to find the part I am editing. This is incredibly annoying. Please fix this.

Hi! This a known regression on 2021.1 update, which has been reported as INVGEN-44176. It will be fixed in 2021.2.

Many thanks!

I'm glad this is already being fixed. Does this patch also fix the issue of the model browser in paper space where unopened sheets and their contents are faded out?

The grayed out look for non active sheets has always been that way, at least as long as I can remember.

I'm not referring to the color on the background being grayed out. I'm talking about the text being faded, which did not happen before 2021 and which I am finding to be annoying. I've attached side-by-side screenshots: the left one showing this bug in 2021, and the right showing this behaving normally in 2020.

This doesn't seem limited to drawings either. When editing a sketch in a part, everything else fades out. When editing a sketch in a part within an assembly, even the part itself is faded out.
