Description Matthias Wienand CLA 2015-03-04 05:53:20 EST 
The MVC.FX.UI module contains a SelectionForwarder that is used to forward a viewer's selection to the Eclipse Selection Service. Currently, the selected content parts are reported to the Selection Service. This should be changed, so that the underlying content model elements of the selected parts are reported to the Selection Service. Moreover, when a selection is set via the Selection Service, it has to be carried over to the viewer, i.e. selection forwarding should work in both directions.
Comment 1 Matthias Wienand CLA 2015-03-06 11:01:58 EST 
I extended the selection forwarder to work in both directions and use the content elements instead of the content parts. The code is published on the master branch, therefore I resolve this ticket as fixed for 3.10.0M6.
