Blender Version
Broken: 2.81, 2.82 (16206b66a2)
Worked: N/A

Short description of error
After duplicating an object in the viewport, outliner will highlight the duplicate as active, but leave blue background on the original

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Load default scene
Select the Cube
Note that in outliner, Cube is highlighted (both text and blue background)
Duplicate the Cube
Note that in outliner, Cube.001 is now highlighted as active (text), but the blue background remains on the original Cube

Thus, Cube is not selected in 3D view, but is in the outliner. E.g. shift-clicking on Camera in the outliner will select both cubes and the camera.

I can confirm this issue. Perhaps it's not a bug, but it's definitely inconsistent and contrary to what the manual says.

The rows of selected data-blocks are highlighted blue, with the active data-block highlighted in a lighter blue.
