Editing contents of a <TabItem> causes the designer to swap back to the first <TabItem>

See original GitHub issue

Normally in WPF (I believe) when editing the XAML contents of a <TabItem> the designer will switch to that tab so you can see the controls you are adding. I can also switch to this tab by clicking on it in the designer.

In Avalonia, I can click on the tab in the designer but the moment I start modifying the XAML contents of that tab, the designer swaps back to the first tab.

there would be special concept for tab control, to change tabs based on what it sees in designer like scroll scrollviewer to edited item etc.

I think this is a bit of over-engineering, because - as I understand it - there would be special concept for tab control, to change tabs based on what it sees in designer. However I think this is not really robust, because next things will soon follow, like scroll scrollviewer to edited item etc.

I think what we really need here is Xaml hot-reload, so user may choose tabitem he wishes, and then find the subtree which needs to be modified and only that subtree is reloaded in previewer. Do we have plans to support it?
