Bug when viewing tables?

Question

There seems to be a bug when viewing tables with identical names in different schemas in SQL Developer. When I view table information in one schema and then go to a table with identical name in another schema the view isn't updated, it still shows the information for the table from the first schema. I have to select another table in the second schema before I select the table I want to look at to get the information correct.
I have the same problem with views, so this is probably the case for all kinds of objects.

I have found that the problem is even more specific. It occurs only when I view schemas in different databases.
I am not sure that I understand what you mean about abstracted script. I have tried to create a simple test case with two scripts, one for each database, that creates a table, inserts some data and creates a view on the table.
I have not found a way to upload files, so I have pasted the contents into this thread along with a description of the steps in the GUI. I have run the scripts on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0) databases.
-- SCRIPT 1
CREATE TABLE test_table
col_1 NUMBER,
col_2 VARCHAR2(6)
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (1, 'ROW 1')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (2, 'ROW 2')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (3, 'ROW 3')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (4, 'ROW 4')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (5, 'ROW 5')
COMMIT
CREATE VIEW test_view AS SELECT * FROM test_table
-- END SCRIPT 1
Run script 1 in some schema in a database.
-- SCRIPT 2
CREATE TABLE test_table
col_1 NUMBER,
col_2 VARCHAR2(6),
col_3 VARCHAR2(12)
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (1, 'ROW 1', 'COL 3 ROW 1')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (2, 'ROW 2', 'COL 3 ROW 2')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (3, 'ROW 3', 'COL 3 ROW 3')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (4, 'ROW 4', 'COL 3 ROW 4')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (5, 'ROW 5', 'COL 3 ROW 5')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (6, 'ROW 6', 'COL 3 ROW 6')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (7, 'ROW 7', 'COL 3 ROW 7')
COMMIT
CREATE VIEW test_view AS SELECT * FROM test_table
-- END SCRIPT 2
Run script 2 in some schema in another database.
Connect to the two databases in SQL Developer.
Select the table in the first database, then select Data.
Then select the table in the other database. In my system the data are not refreshed. This is also the case when I look at the views.
Hope this description is good enough.
