Collapse All not working in schema Design mode?
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2019 6:55 pm
I am tinkering with the Design mode while studying a complex set of XML schemas. (I'm a text-oriented person, so graphical representations generally don't help me very much, so I haven't used it very much in the past.) The Collapse All command on the right-click menu doesn't seem to be working as described in the online Help. The Help says that this command "Recursively collapses all sub-components of the selected component." However, after using Collapse All, and then clicking the plus sign to expand an element, that element's tree often opens back up with several levels showing. (The one I'm looking at opened four sublevels.) I believe that "recursively" collapsing the sub-components should mean that only one level of sub-components should expand when I subsequently click a plus sign.
I've wondered if it matters what element you right-click on to choose the Collapse All command, or what part of the element symbol, but it doesn't seem to. I've tried right-clicking on the plus sign, on the element boxes, on the white space around the diagram, and so on. It doesn't seem to make a difference.
Also, the depth that the tree reopens to doesn't seem to be consistent across schema modules. Another one I just tried opened only two levels, even though it has several more.
Am I misunderstanding how this works, or is it not working correctly?
Thanks!
