Short description of error
outliner.show_active shortcut (".") does not work anymore for bones only both in edit and in pose mode when mouse is flying over the outliner

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
Create a bone with SHIT+A and extrude (E) severl times to have a few bones.
then select one of them.
Fly over the outliner and press "."
The hierarchy dos not developp to this bone.

Its a bit misleading to say "does not work anymore" because it never has (its just not implemented)
Opening the outliner tree is based on the active object (and in case of an armature it wont dig deeper and consider the active (pose_)bone as well)
That being said it thinks its more of a request than an actual bug [but a reasonable request -- so I will have a look and see what I can do here]

Thank you Philipp for your answer.

I am digging in blender for a few months now, and right now in rigging.
I thought that this shortcut was obvious as it is in other softwares, because in an armature, you quickly end up with several levels of hierarchies and parenting and developping is often necessary to control the set up.

I first thought that I erased the shortcut but realised I was not able to set it back.
Indeed it would be a very good thing to have a shortcut for this action.

Thanks for your time.

Indeed not a bug, switched to TODO task instead of closing since @lichtwerk is eager to implement it ;)

D1941: Outliner: "Show Active" will now also expand bone hierarchies to the active bone is my go at implementing this
