22320 - ftp(tree) subdirectories collapsed when going "back" to a ftp-directory

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect, P3)

Description

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

When going back to a ftp-directory all subdirectories are collapsed even if you
had expanded them before clicking a link.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub in the URL box
2. Expand some directories
3. Click the appform.txt file
4. Click the back button

All directories are now collapsed and all directory caches has been lost.

I'm running the 1999122023 build on win98SE

Hmmm, chris, how will this work? I suppose we need to remember the state of the
tree.

I am also finding this to be true under Linux 2.2.14, Mozilla M14.  This is not
limited to Windows 98 anymore.  I was finding it true on ftp.xfree86.org.  Go to
pub/XFree86/4.0/README and when I hit back I am at pub/XFree86.  It appears that
it's got an extra 'back' execution in there (maybe).
Here is an excerpt from my command line output:
------------------------------------------------
Document ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86.4.0/README loaded successfully
Document: Done (0.889 secs)
Going Back
failed to set the page title
Document ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86 loaded successfully
Document: Done (0.995 secs)
------------------------------------
I would have expected it to go back to a line like:
'Document ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0 loaded successfully'
in the second to the last line...

Chris: I'm inclined to punt on this for beta2; please advise on status and 
estimated cost to fix.

I'm very suspicious that RJC may have fixed this and I've been remiss in
updating the bug report. rjc?

Comment 7

[Robert John Churchill]

Yeah, I fixed this a while ago by using  persist="open"  in directory.xul.

Comment 8

[Chris Waterson]
