Hi there,
While in Edit mode, selecting an object in Outliner mode will change the selected object in the viewport but the Properties tabs do not refresh accordingly. They'll always show the properties of whatever object was selected when you go into Edit mode.
The expected behavior is to update the Properties tabs to the selected object whether you're in Object or Edit mode.
An easy way to replicate this is to create a plane and a cube. Add a Modifier to the cube. With the cube still selected, go into Edit mode. Select the plane in the Outliner. The plane is selected in the viewport but the cube's modifier properties still show in the Properties tab.
Thank you,
Alec
