Hi Sean,

The selected node does not become the receiver, it's just that you see a description of it in the bottom pane.
The top-level node (the subject of the inspector) is still the receiver. To change that, there is a checkbox at the
bottom (bind "this" to selection), which does what it says :)

Cheers,
Florin
