Filter Manager: Refresh Bug

1. Under Custom Filters, create a new storage folder and a handful of arbitrarily nested sub-folders within.

2. Expand some of these newly created folders to display their sub-folders in the folder tree (to 'simulate' some random view state).

3. Right-click on Custom Filters. Choose Refresh.

4. Start selecting through your partially expanded folder-tree, top to bottom.

- Note how the light-blue pre-selection and the darker blue selection states on the folders are no longer rendered. It is no longer possible to tell which folder you have selected.

- Note how nested folders can no longer be expanded/collapsed.
[Or rather, they can, but the display does no longer refresh, it seems.]

- There may now be a disconnect between the folder you 'apparently' just clicked on and the contents that are displayed in the filter browser to the right.
[Again, possibly due to the display not refreshing.]

Anyone else getting this?

I've also had a GUI redraw issue connected to this, where I ALT-tabbed out to another application window, then ALT-tabbed back and found the folder-tree part of the filter manager totally greyed out.

Crapadilla, this is related to other UI refreshing issues. A progress bar for copying and refreshing (planned for 4.008) should fix that.

FF re-reads the file-structure and doesn't update the GUI until the refresh is complete?

AFAIK, yes. Locking the UI and displaying a progress bar should prevent such visual issues.
