Select a control on the designer and see its property view. The right-hand corner of the view has a drop-down that lists the tag containment hierarchy with the tick mark on the current active tag.
1) This drop-down disappears sometines. Re-sizing the window fixes the issuee 
2) Selecting any tag in the hierarchy shows the properties of the tag. This selection is NOT propagated to both the designer canvas and the ouline view. Is this proper UI? The feature is similar to the crumb-trail feature, except for the lack of synchronization between the designer and oultline view.

This drop-down is the only way to know the currently selected tag in the property view.
