Hi yannada,

Thanks! Yeah there are quite a lot of bug fixes in this one, definitely surface offsetting is a lot more reliable now.

Yeah, if the browser only had an "adjacent" mode, then they would be set up like that.

But there is also an optional "inside" mode where the browser is placed inside of a tab on the side pane named "Scene browser", which does have that same kind of tab heading that you are mentioning. This is what that mode looks like:



When in this mode, the different sections for "Groups", "Objects", "Types", and "Styles" are all children of the "Scene browser" tab.

If those children had an identical look as their parent container, it would tend to lead to some confusion about their relationship. They would look too much the same and make it easy to think they had an equal relationship rather than being contained things.

So those scene browser sections have a different look to help with that inline mode, to prevent that confusing look that would otherwise happen.
