Xamarin Previewer not Showing Control Handles

[Nathan Sokalski]

I have recently started converting my apps from UWP to Xamarin. In the Visual Studio Designer for UWP (and everything else I have ever done in Visual Studio), the Designer displayed handles (little white squares) in the corners of the current control, or indicated the selected control(s) in some other way. But in the Xamarin Previewer, the Previewer completely ignores the location of the cursor in the code. Is this by design, or is there something I need to change or fix in my settings? I would definitely be more productive if the Previewer & Text Editor stayed in sync (not to mention that the Properties window does not always stay in sync with the code, either).
