Selection Removed in TreeView of FileManager after Collapse followed by Expand

Bug report

When a node in the TreeView of a Kendo UI FileManager is selected, then the parent node is collapsed, and re-expanded, the selection is removed.

Reproduction of the problem

  1. Go to the following Progress Kendo UI Dojo.
  2. Expand the Root node
  3. Select Folder Inner 1
  4. Collapse Root
  5. Re-expand Root

Current behavior

The selected node within a parent after collapsing and expanding will lose its selection. Here is a screencast of the above in action.

Expected/desired behavior

The selection should persist even upon expanding/collapsing parent nodes.

Environment

  • Kendo UI version: 2021.2.616

This behavior was originally reported over 4 years ago and has not received significant demand or follow-up from the community since then. Considering this and the availability of a workaround, we are unable to prioritize it over more impactful and widely requested improvements. 

If this limitation is still affecting your scenario, please share additional context or use cases. This will help us better assess the severity and reconsider prioritization in the future. Thank you!
