I unchecked "Reactive Automatically" and logged out of our staging environment. I logged back in, went to Tools > Central Repositories and manually activated DWDDS_CENTRAL (development) and it now shows it as the active reporitory on the page. When I say OK and go to Tools > Central Object Library it still shows DWSDS_CENTRAL (staging) data.
As an aside when I went back to Tools > Central Repositories the "Activate Automatically" was again checked for DWDDS_CENTRAL.
