Description Jimisola Laursen

Neither the Folder Selection dialog or the Class Folder Selection works as expected. With that I mean in a started way like e.g. Package Explorer.

What is the issue?

I would like left and right arrow to fold/unfold directories structures (just like I can in Package Explorer). In Package Explorer also allows one to use <space> to fold/unfold which also should be allow in the Folder Selection dialog but not the Class Folder Selection dialog (since space here marks the checkbox).

Moving to SWT. This works on windows. No difference between package explorer and trees in dialogs.

The Tree is behaving as it should natively.  On gtk the left and right arrow keys should NOT expand/collapse items, +/- should do this.  And Space doing expand/collapse in the Package Explorer happens because the view listens for Space and does the expand/collapse itself; this is not native behaviour.

I would like Class Folder Selection dialogs to have the same, or close to, behaviour as Package Explorer if possible.

Having the view for Space and does the expand/collapse itself would be highly appreciated.

I'm guessing that these come from UI, so moving report there (or if they don't provide these dialogs, the dialogs are probably using the TreeViewer)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
