Yep, when Navigator is doing a "live" display -- showing the controls on
whatever card is displayed in the topstack -- then Navigator reflects the
controls you select on the card, and the selection will be updated to
reflect whatever you select in Navigator. When you are displaying anything
else -- when Navigator is pinned to a specific card or group or background
-- it doesn't do that, because there's no guarantee that the container is
even visible.

As you found, you can right-click on any controls in the list and select
"Select Objects", which will do its best to select the controls -- for
example, even if the browse tool is selected. But you can get the object
info for anything right in Navigator, without selecting it, on the
Properties and Custom Properties menu.
