Description urkman 2008-10-06 08:36:14 UTC 
When I change the file, and data inside the navigator gets changed, all objects are opened by default.

Now I close all objects, but when I later come back to this file, all objects are opened again.

Sorry, the screenshot belongs to another issue.
So ignore it...
Comment 3 Martin Schovanek 2008-10-06 18:50:14 UTC 
IMHO not P2 by Bug Priority Guidelines, if you feel it seriously affect you please comment.
Comment 4 urkman 2008-10-08 10:01:23 UTC 
Hello,

I think this is a P2( minimum ) Issue, because it makes the Navigator useless, when working with larger files.

Greetings,
Stefan Sturm

Are there any news on this? Is there a plan, when to fix it?
Comment 6 Marek Fukala 2009-04-24 16:32:04 UTC 
I am affraid the navigator remembers the state of the nodes only until you do not switch to another file. This is IMHO
not a big problem of javascript files where the tree is quite flat, but can be problem for example for html files.
Comment 7 urkman 2009-06-10 06:58:03 UTC 
I work a lot with extJs at this time. Take a look at extJs and open the main ExtJs File ( ext-all-debug.js ). With this
file, the Navigator is simply unusable...
Comment 8 Petr Pisl 2009-09-14 15:36:28 UTC 
I agree with urkman that the navigator should be able to remember the state of nodes. Unfortunately this is not
supported now and the nodes are always counted again, when the editor gets a focus. This should be solved in the
navigator infrastructure.
Comment 9 Marek Fukala 2009-09-14 15:47:37 UTC 
This is a problem of the CSL's default navigator implementation.
Comment 10 David Strupl 2010-10-01 15:27:07 UTC 
We are not going to add this feature to CSL navigator - I am marking the ENH request as wontfix.
