How to select which class to display in class hierarchy in Eclipse?

How to fix?

Here is Erich Gamma's response from 2002: "The back linking works only when the type is visible in the hierarchy. For performance reasons (type hierarchy computation is expensive) we don't want to recompute a type hierarchy on editor switching."

It seems they have never addressed this counter-intuitive behavior.
