It happened to me to right-click > Validate a model within an .editorconfig.

What happens is that if you do that on the topmost node in the editor, which
might be a resource, the validation is not performed at all and no messages
(good or bad) are shown.

This, even if intended, is a bit confusing for newcomers as I would expect the
whole three under the topmost node to be validated instead.

Actually, I did not figure out at all that validate was applied only to the
node you click. I think it would be less confusing to have a "Validate this..."
that will validate the selected node and a "Validate" which validate the whole
model regardless where you click...but this is only my personal opinion.
