Layers Panel Active Layer not active and not scrolled to in the panel when switching back to a document
In Adobe InDesign, when switching between open documents, the Layers Panel Active Layer is not active (highlighted) and not on screen (due to the layers list scrolling all the way to the top) for my document which has many layers.
Every time I switch back to the document (with many layers) I have to use the Layers Panel scroll bar to try and find the active layer again. This is very tedious.

I posted a thread about this issue to the InDesign product discussion here: https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/layer-panel-refresh-when-switching-documents-1561356
This behavior wasn't always the default; I can verify that in InDesign CS5.5 (v7.5.1) the Layers panel ("palette" at the time, I think?) didn't refresh when switching between open documents; layers remained highlighted, sublayers remained expanded. If it'd be helpful, I can do some research to pinpoint exactly which release was the first without this functionality.
