   Preselection versus in-tool selection :

If you preselect a member or material before invoking Show Detail (or Show Detail Other ), then Show Detail acts on that member or material.

If there is no preselection (or an inappropriate selection) when you invoke Show Detail using the drop-down menus, you are prompted to select a member or material and provided Select One Item mouse bindings.

On the default context menu that you get when you hover an item (and no item is selected), " Show Detail Other... " is visible and " Show Detail " is not visible.
