It makes it so that when you have the HTML source editor and Preview next to each other that you can click on the preview and the editor cursor will move to the element that you clicked, and the other way around - when you edit some HTML element, the preview will highlight the element that is currently being edited. See sample screenshot:

This might not work correctly with dynamically generated or modified HTML and if the page uses JavaScript in such way that interferes with cursor synchronization.

This is an important feature for me, but I can't get it to work. At first I thought it was my javascript causing the problem, but I couldn't even get it to work on your standard Hello, World! page.

I'm using Rapid PHP Version 15.4.0.206 with Windows 7. I tried it with both the Chrome preview and Internet Explorer preview. It didn't work with either.

Make sure you have Synchronize with Cursor turned on.

Could you in Chromium Preview open Developer Tools and check if there are any error messages in Console? If not, in Elements tab do you see <div> irh id="XRBaseDiv" right before </body> tag?
