The reason is simply that you may have deselected some items
and you should see the real result of the sync.

Currently there is no option to change this.

I also find this feature a little nuisance. In most cases I don't want to re-compare the directories and otherwise I could re-press the 'Compare' button. So the default should be "no auto-comparing", but then the question arises: What should TC display after synchronizing?
  1. Same list as before synchronizing? No, because the list is no longer correct.
  2. The empty list as when entering the synchronize dialog? Maybe.
  3. Update only the synchronized entries in the previous list? My favorite.
Possibly the reason for current behavior was very easy implementation and only a minor drawback for the user when the directories are large.

Great idea.
I Would also add next point.
4. Nothing - just close the synchronize form.

5. Close TC, FreeCell, MineSweeper and shut down Windows.
