Description Martin Schwenke 2015-10-18 23:38:46 UTC
When navigating the folder list in the main window using the keyboard,
pressing enter or right-arrow on the highlighted folder used to always
open that folder.

Now, if a folder has no sub-folders then pressing enter or right-arrow
marks the folder as expanded.  A second press is needed to actually
open the folder.

The old behaviour is clearly preferable, where leaf folders were
opened immediately.

That the Enter key expands the folder is an oversight, sorry about that. The idea was that right arrow would expand the folder (if needed), but Enter key should open the folder right away.

It will be fixed in next release.

    In folderview, Enter key opens the selected folder immediately.
    
    ...instead of expanding it to see its subfolders.
    Closes bug #3541.
