It uses "Current" reference when you launch a tool and choose "Current" connection for the scope. Sometimes it leads to the connection being remembered under that name. It can be renamed later in the Options in DB Connections settings.

What do you mean by tool? Repository browser? Schema/data compare?

Renaming that connection might not be very useful. It's usually (always?) a connection that's already there in DB Connections list bearing a proper name.

I too don't understand renaming the connection.

Any tool that needs database context. for example when you open Data Transfer tool, it needs to know where from and where to copy the data. By default it refers to the "current" connection/database. All multi-server tools like Code Search and Replace (Multi-Server), Data Search and Replace (Multi-Server), Schema compare, Data Compare, and so on, refer to the current connection as their default selection. It gets a bit hairy when connections are shared and owned by the development environment like SSMS. In that case connection name appears empty. It may or may not be saved in the Options.

I'm not sure if that explanation provides an answer to your questions, but perhaps it offers more insight into the connection handling.

Yes, this makes things a bit clearer. But couldn't it work using that "current connection" internally? I mean without saving it to user defined connections. Invoking those tools from another connection, "current connection" would change anyway, wouldn't it? It is only used by that tool, it isn't meaningful for the user.

It also doesn't explain why the tab (that, if I understand correctly, invoked the tool and thus implicitly responsible for the creation of the connection named Current) has its connection transferred from its original, properly named DB Connection member to the one named Current.
