The corresponding object is not currently expanded, and the MEExpandToSelection preference is set to false.

• Secondary views can change their inner selection (highlight) to suit the active section when that selection occurs in a primary view or in another secondary view that is associated to the same primary view. The following situations can cause them not to do so:

The selection does not correspond to any object in the view.
