Bug 191766 – Web Inspector: TreeOutline shouldn't select first child of an expanded element on right arrow key

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: REOPENED

[Matt Baker]

Summary:
TreeOutline shouldn't select first child of an expanded element on right arrow key.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a tree element with at least one child
2. Expand the tree element
3. Press Right Arrow key
  => Selection moves to first child. In Finder and Xcode, the selection does not change.

We should continue to do the following behaviors, which match the system:

- Pressing the Left Arrow key when the first child of an expanded item is selected moves the selection up to the parent
- Pressing the Right Arrow key when an item is collapsed expands the item

Should we do anything special if the folder is already expanded? It seems like in that case we’d effectively be doing nothing. I suppose I’d that’s what the system does then it’s better to match 🤔

This comment isn’t descriptive. Either remove it or make it more explanatory.

Doing nothing on Right Arrow when the selected item is expanded is precisely the system behavior being followed. It's curious that the opposite - selecting the parent on Left Arrow when the first child is selected - is the system behavior. 🤔
