Bug: click to expand/collapse a collection

Hello,
sometimes one wants to look at contents of one collection
and try to find a better place for an entry than that collection.
So one browses through the list of collections on the left
and sometimes clicks the small triangle symbol to expand or collapse
other collections (to get to the new destination collection).

That tiangle-click operation should only update the left pane with the list of collections, it shouldn't change the display of the middle plane with the contents of the original collection. Semantically clicking the triangle to collapse/expand a collection
isn't equivalent to clicking on the collection icon to see what's included in it...

Thanks,
A.

ps. Using zotero standalone (latest beta) with chrome plug-in, on Ubuntu 11.04.
  • to reproduce the bug one needs to actually have selected tags
    to only display a portion of the contents of a collection.
    So, you have to do the following:

    a) click on one collection
    b) click on a tag from the bottom left, to filter out of the middle
    pane some of the entries (hopefully many of them :)
    c) click on a triangle symbol to expand/collapse another collection

    You'll notice the middle pane view gets updated to the UNFILTERED view
    of the original collection, completely ignoring whatever tags you had selected in step b)...
