[ BUILD # : Dev 20050318 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_02 ]

In the Form Editor, when a component is selected, the currently selected property is not scrolled into view. Instead, the property sheet is scrolled to some default value somewhere in the middle.

You should be able to quickly view/edit a property that is common over a set of components by selecting one component, selecting that property, and then, when you select another component, that same property should be selected and displayed in the same position.

The "form" property sheet is a global property sheet
of the IDE. Form editor cannot affect its scrolling =>
=> reassigning to property sheet for evaluation.

Note that there is a similar issue 54208.
