[Users] UI Plugin issue when switching main tabs

[René Koch]

When switching back to vm main tab changing the selection doesn't work.

No matter which VM I select the VirtualMachineSelectionChange function isn't called again (as my debug alert window doesn't appear), but the last vm I selected before switching to another main tab is cached in variable vmName...
It works again after restarting engine-service.

I just tested your foreman plugin and it seems that this one is working as expected.


Regards,
René
