I had a syntax error (but not lexical) in my source code and clicking on the grey [+] square for expanding a collapsed folder did not expand the folder (but the [+] mark has changed to [-]). (The syntax error was in the method below the folder I wanted to expand.) But I could expand the folder by double-clicking on the [{...}] mark. Once I expanded the folder this way, clicking on [-]/[+] started to work.
