sample snapshot of the Inspector window
I don't know what the inspector should display (please reassign to that component after the navigator is solved). But the navigator should show outline (not the JSP tree), when the design tab is active. Navigator part is duplicate of 129261, I'm creating dependency and passing to GUI builder. The empty content of Inspector is not necessarily incorrect - it happens, for example, when you open Inspector window manually (via Window>Navigating>Inspector) e.g. if there is nothing to show there. It is important to have exact steps to reproduce to be able to do some evaluation.

That's a reasonable response. But is the Inspector really supposed to have just a folder displayed with nothing next to
it? (As shown in the attached screen snapshot.) Shouldn't it just be completely empty?

I agree that it would be nicer to show some human-readable message like 'No active form' or 'No form selected'. Hence,
changing this issue to enahancement.
