Sheet Metal tab feature disables search of previous features

Does anyone else find that the Sheet Metal tab feature disables search of previous features on the face or related edges of the part?  To find features on a face that has a subsequent tab added I first find the tab roll behind this then I find the features related to the face made pre tab. It would be good if I didn't have to do the roll.

Sorry, I don't think this is an issue, I just have a lot of features that are way up the tree and wasn't seeing them. A great use case for the new part filter.

Because of the way sheet metal works internally, we have to do a lot of massaging in the history tracker to maintain the identity of sheet metal entities over a series of edits (and we definitely don't always get it right).  If you have a good example of this that is bothering you, please report feedback through the "?" menu so we can give it a look.

@Jake_Rosenfeld  I'd have to check this again, I think my issue is comparing a standard model with an extrude to a sheet metal model with a tab and sheet metal post tab selections vary to standard. Not a major problem but would be nice to have consistency if it's not to complex to do so.
