Bolot,
I've seen this problem too. It also happens if you try to move down off
the bottom of the instance variable list pane in a debugger (using the
keyboard), but it's not the problem that I was having with the browser. See my
reply to Jerry Archibald for details.

Subject: Re: [BUG] MVC System Browser Problems
The problem here becomes evident if you do one of the following in
another browser:
- add a class that's above the currently selected class (higher in
category hierarchy or alphabetically in the same category)
- add a method that's above the currently selected one
- delete such entities
The MVC System Browser uses indices to keep track of state. But does not
do update when things change elsewhere. Thus, the pluggable lists don't
change. Which results in things being called old way, but referring to
other things (by index).
A short-term solution is to open a menu in the category pane and do
update.
