Description Rolf Kulemann 2003-01-02 21:11:22 UTC 
If one browses files via icon- or list view using the nautilus tree view tab
the tree does not expand automatically.

Perhaps this is a feature, but I think it is a big usability problem.

I discovered this problem while hunting bug #48099 (which seems to be a
real bug in gnome 1.4)

Rolf, do you mean expand to the directory you're browsing in? I think
that's what you mean, but I'm not 100% sure.
Comment 2 Rolf Kulemann 2003-01-02 21:50:54 UTC 
More details:

If one browse first via the tree view tab and then continue browsing
via icon-or list view,
the tree does not expand as expected = keeps last tree view browsed
location
Comment 3 Rolf Kulemann 2003-01-03 13:34:49 UTC 
The error/feature of a non expanding tree tab is also available if one
chooses the tree tab on the left and then chooses a folder from the
bookmark menu.
The tree will not expand along the chosen bookmark folder or highlight
the selected folder.

Summary:

The tree tab does only expand when browsing files and folders using
the tree itself.
As soon as one uses bookmarks or list/icon view the current folder is
not shown and highlighted in the tree tab.
