Please have a look at https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13156/EyeInspector-does-not-automatically-... this is a proposal for a solution, but I want some comments by those who understand this better than me. More specifically, I do not understand the description getSelection size = 0 ifTrue: guard in EyeInspector>>#refresh and the guard that I added in EyeInspector>>#updateList works, in the sense that it refuses identical updates, but when the list changes, the old contents is already empty, which I don't understand. Sven PS: There is also another issue https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13157/EyeTreeInspector-has-no-auto-refresh... but that one is open
