There's a drawing explorer tool (hidden in developer settings) that allows you to pick any object in the drawing from a selection tree, fair enough. However, how to show what the object is when you click on it on the drawing? I was really surprised that clicking on a drawing object does not highlight in the drawing explorer as well, but it doesn't..
My use case for this is locking a background shape box from selection so I can lasso objects without dragging the background shape around, for that you need to do it on the drawing explorer, not just in "protect" dialog.
If there simply isn't backwards synchronization option between drawing and the drawing explorer, I'd have to know the object name. You'd expect the object name to be shown somewhere as soon as you click on it but it doesn't..
I can right click on the object and pick shapesheet, which shows the name along with a pile of useless (to me) information on the object. You can leave that open but it won't update when you click on another object. Hidden on the developer tab there's a "shape name" option which pops up a modal dialog you can't leave open so it'd show the name of whatever you click on.
There is an extension to do just that (jusmp back to shape in drawing explorer). The installer:

It is free and open source.
I have not updated it for quite a while, but it still works.

I found a rather convoluted way of doing this.
First, to show live name of whatever you have clicked on, you need to have the "Diagram navigation" pane open, which shows up from View tab in "show" on task panes icon.
THAT pane highlights whatever you click on and you can rename it. but it doesn't show hierarchy like the drawing explorer but at least you can give a descriptive name by double clicking on a a name on the navigation pane. That name will update on the Drawing explorer (but won't be selected) so you can at find it easily in the tree.
However, you cannot protect a shape by either drawing explorer or diagram navigation panes, so while I now know how to get from drawing object to drawing explorer, it doesn't solve my dilemma, that's an another question.
You have to go to developer tab and pick "protection" icon from "Shape design" section. This does not prevent you from selecting the shape yet.
After this you have to go to the drawing explorer, right click on the top-level document name and pick "protect document", hey presto, now that background shape is not selectable so it won't interfere working on objects on top of it.
There is one weird menu which i need to get rid of. Even when I split vscode environment into more pages (two,three...) it creates this menu for every page area. I have not even find what is the name of this menu, much less how to hide it. Please, does anyone at least know what is the name of this menu?
Those are source control buttons, try to uncheck some of these.
I am working on the following website and i am having an issue with the dropdown (selectbox) arrow. [url no longer available]
If you click on the second slide of the booking form and then click on the dropdown arrow you will see that it doesn't work. I guess i could start again from scratch if i have to, however, if anyone can think of a quick way to fix this issue i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
A client of mine is particularly keen on the Wave toolbar as a measure of accessibility, and will not accept any red errors for any reason.
The sub-menu arrow in GWT by default has no alt-text associated with it, causing a wave toolbar error when the menu is on screen.
Is there a simple way to add alt text to this image, or am I going to have to sub-class MenuBar?
thanks in advance
I pressed right mouse button and accidentally selected SOMETHING which I cannot revert anymore. Now I have a small panel on top of my editor which shows a very detailed project layout (begins with project name and goes down till method declarations). I don't want that there. How do I remove it?
Please help! Thank you!
Edit: the panel seems to represent the type hierarchy of my project.
That is very simple.. 'Undo ' the breadcrumb option
