Must admit I thought you were wrong, but having tested it, I think I see
what you mean.

If the schema in question is in the search_path then it doesn't get
displayed. If you've forgotten what your search_path is set to then that
can cause confusion.

Not a problem I see much of since I very rarely change my search_path. I
refer to schema.table by preference.
