Yura, I suggest that Autoscroll from Source always select
in the Structure view the tree node that corresponds to
the cursor's position in the Source view.

The value of Autoscroll from Source is navigational. It
tells me where I am. When I click in the class declaration
but the Structure view continues to assert that I'm in a
method, I know it's not true, so my faith in the program
is shaken. /Jim

Hello Jim,

It's not a bug, do you think it would be useful to select the class
when the caret is in its declaration ?

Autoscroll from source only works when the caret is inside a method or
in a method/field's declaration.
