Reference sets - bodies not highlighting in Part Navigator

[WDAG]

I'd like to use reference sets to control which bodies are expressed.

I'm used to the following behavior: when I open the Reference Sets dialog, I can select one (for example, Model). In the part navigator, selected bodies are highlighted with a blue bar. Using the Part Navigator interface, I can click to select new bodies (i.e. Body (10)), or shift-click to remove bodies.

On my new install, I can click to select bodies and shift-click to deselect bodies in the 3D (modeling) view, but the list of bodies in the Part Navigator window remain unselected.

Is there a way to fix that?

As far as I can tell, you've never been able to select/deselect bodies for reference sets from the Part Navigator (in Timestamp mode).
Turn it off and you can select bodies.

I'll agree with PhoeNX, since when you are in 'timestamp' mode, you are looking at features, and not bodies, even if that feature happens to be a body.

I've had users confused by this, since they were coming from Solidworks to NX, and the concept of bodies/features, is a bit different.
