Inspector doesn't update to newly selected file

Hi Folks:

I’m running 3.9.6 Pro edition. I’ve been working on tagging objects. The inspector pane does not update details to a the newly selected file. I have to close the inspector and reopen it to gain access to the details of the newly selected item. Has this always been the case ? I ‘thought’ that the inspector pane tracked the selected object automatically.

Thanks,

Mark
