Seen with Java CAPS 6 with NB 6.1 patches applied and IEP nbms for 080711 (july 11) installed. When I click the Validate XML button in the design view, and there are errors in the process definition, I see error messages with hyperlinks in the XML Check output tab. ==> However, when I click the hyperlinks, nothing is opened or highlighted in the design view canvas. Other editors with multiple views select the graphical item referenced by the validation error when the hyperlink is clicked. (When the source view is displayed, the clicking hyperlink highlights the line containing the error.)
This is an enhancement to have design view show some highlighting of gui operator etc when error link is clicked. Changing to enhancement as it is nice to have.
