14980 - Directory list state does not persist when returning to it from a local webpage

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

Steps to reproduce:

1) load a local folder by typing in a file:// URL (e.g. file:///c|/)
2) navigate through your local directory tree, and find a webpage or other file
viewable by Mozilla. This should ideally be several folders deep, to display
to maximum effect this problem. Load the file by clicking on it
3) now click the back button to return to the directory list. You'll notice its
assumed the "closed" state it had when you first loaded it, not expanded out as
you had when you selected the file to load.

This state should persist.

Radha, is this a session history issue?

Comment 2

This is not Session History. The directory listing is a RDF tree. Cc'ing
waterson.

Comment 3

[Chris Waterson]

Nope, it sure doesn't save its state. Sorry. I have no idea how to fix it short
of saving the entire content model in the session history.

I can't reproduce this bug.

I close this for now as INVALID.
Reporter, if you still run into this problem while using an recent Build,
