Why can't Lightroom just open a previously added image?

Ah! Yes! Lightroom CC. All versions, including Latest.

Apparently testing uses images only once.

In real life users return to images days, months later to retweak something.  Adjaust shadows, say. Or need to re-export with different aspect ratio.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Lightroom.
2. Add a fresh not previously added image to Lightroom in any manner. Drag drop, menu Add, open from Bridge are among the manners.
3.  Optionally, make adjustment to the image.  Or do nothing. Adjustments are not part of the issue.
4. Exit Lightroom application. Meaning: cease the operation of the application executable file.
5. Start Lightroom.
6. Reopen the image in Lightroom by drag drop, from Bridge, or menu Add/Open.
7. Message results: Previously added.
8. User can only return to the image in Lightroom by navigation in the Lightroom Library.
9. Lightroom knows where the image is inside the Library. It should just open the image. Instead the user has to navigate to same location in the library.
