Updated Xamarin to the latest version and file dependency doesn't seem to work?

I have a Xamarin application which I zipped up (externally with the MacOS archive) , sent to another user. The user did some work on it, zipped it up again and sent it back. I unzipped and everything works okay. Both of our machines when checking for stable updates show the words up to date as of October 23, 2017.

The other user (using exactly the same Mac OS hardware and version of Visual Studio for Mac OS) has files in the Solution that show dependencies in the editor window.

On my machine it does not show any dependencies for any of the xaml and xaml.cs files any more even though this appears in the the Project file:

<Compile Include="Views\Cards\Detail\LinkTextCell.xaml.cs">
  <DependentUpon>LinkTextCell.xaml</DependentUpon>
</Compile>

Has anyone had the same experiences? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what I could look at. FYI I did try a clean all and rebuild all and that didn't make any difference. Not sure what else to do.

Visual Studio for Mac 7.2.0 currently has a bug where the file nesting does not work for .xaml and .xaml.cs files when Xamarin.Forms is used. This problem is fixed in Visual Studio for Mac 7.2.2 and later versions.

A workaround is to install the .NET Core 2.0 SDK.
