Eeschema don't 'center' the part selected in PCBNew

Schematic

hi!

With the two programs opened in two screens, if I select a device/label to be moved in Eeschema the corresponded footprint will be highlighted and centered (if the zoom is big) in PCBnew, but is not happens in reverse (if I select a footprint to be moved in PCBNew nothing happens in Eeschema). I remember for a while ago this was in both directions, there is some preferences to change for this to happen or is a bug from the version?

Did you start both - EEschema & PCBnew - from the KiCAD project manager window?

never mind, I just realized I have a nightly build, don’t really know why I choose this at the install moment, and of course is normal to have problems with them
now I need to figure out how to recover the PCB design I was doing, because the version 4.0.5 don’t open the file! :anguished:

Can confirm that a nightly from couple days ago doesn’t do it.
