Locked tree gets expanded when restarting XYplorer with other pane active

Post by elqasar2 »

I've discovered a bug in version 23.70.0300 where the locked tree expands to the node where I'm at, after restarting XYplorer while the other pane is active.

Example steps I've used to reproduce:

Enable Dual Pane.
Lock the Tree.
In the locked tree, expand just the root of the drive, e.g. C:
In the list in Pane 1, go to a deep folder that is not visible in the tree, e.g. C:\Windows\Branding
Activate the other pane (Pane 2).
Quit XYplorer (Saving).
Restart XYplorer.
Notice that the locked tree has now expanded the nodes so that the deep folder that was navigated to in Pane 1 is now visible in the tree.

Cannot reproduce. There must be another factor.

Well, I don't know. As a user, I see a bug and I report what I see. I don't have access to the source code, so I can't see all the "factors". Obviously the locked tree code must be very weak if it doesn't actually lock the tree, and can be messed up by any of hundreds of user settings such that you don't even know where to start looking.
