308299 - Thunderbird 1.5b1 installer fails to display folder tree correctly if the "make new folder" button is clicked first.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Installer, defect)

Description

[bladud84]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.02 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908)

When choosing an install location for Thunderbird, the focus starts on "program 
files". If you click "make new folder", a new folder is created, but the tree 
appears as if all subfolders of "program files" have been deleted. It is 
necessary to exit the "choose directory" window to restore them. 

It may be relevant that I have 140 subfolders in program files.

If the focus is moved before clicking "make new folder", this does not occur.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start the installer
2.Click custom install
3.Upon coming to the "choose destination screen, click browse
4. Click the New Folder button before doing anything else.

Actual Results:  
A new folder is created, but the installer now shows program files as containing 
no subfolders.

Expected Results:  
Create a new folder inside program files and expand the directory tree 
accordingly.

This sounds like bug 251735.

Not sure about the dupe, but this too is probably wontfix since it's a native
windows dialog -> nothing we could do. Seen this in other programs too.

INVALID because it's not a bug in Thunderbird.
