Smalltalk explore "do it"
Explorer appears, the selection is on the top line.
Now press up arrow. The selection turns yellow / blue.
What does it mean?
It's monitoring changes to the selection. See bottom context menu item

I didn't select that menu item, but in any case, what "change" would happen to the Smalltalk global just by navigating it; even just the up-arrow does not modify Smalltalk at all, so why does it think it changed?
It happens all the time in normal navigation usage and its kind of distracting. If it worked it might be nice but... is it working?
When I do select "monitor changes" then if I try to expand the tree ('globals' inst var), it keeps collapsing it...

'hello'->'world' "explore it"
Press up arrow. Changes to yellow.
Press down arrow three times, 'world' change to yellow/blue.
Now close that one and explore it again.
This time, execute in the explorer:
self value: 'there'
No change of colors or anything in the explorer, unless you click the bottom one, and then press down-arrow.
But that's just the same behavior in all cases, whether it changed or not...

Hi Chris,
if you re-select the current selection, you update it. Key-up at the top happens to do exactly that. Since a single update renders the whole tree display inconsistent, we want to indicate those updated nodes with the color blue.
