Section manager is not updated when changing documents

[MikeTO]

This was an issue in 2.5.2 (see link below) but it's worse in 2.5.3 now. Might be Mac only.

1. Start Publisher and create a new document
2. Using Section Manager, set starting page number to 2, name the section as test, and set the page numbering to i,ii,iii. Click Close
3. Create a new document
4. Open Section Manager - the values from document 1 will be shown instead of the values for the new document

Hi MikeTO,

Thanks for the heads up - this issue actually does affect 2.5.2 as well (can replicate by simply giving it a section name or changing the page numbering style). I believe its a reflection issue, as adding a new section will update the dialog to be the correct values. 

I shall get this logged however. Thanks for letting us know.
