Resolved Customer-Reported Bugs and Known Issues/Limitations:

• Left pane displays a expand tree icon next to a folder containing no sub-folders when connected to a SharePoint Document and Picture Library.
• The Web Part does not display the root folder content default in the right view pane.
• The Web Part content does not automatically refresh when switching views from the toolbar.
• Selecting a folder in the right view pane navigates the user outside the Tree View Web Part page into the SharePoint list or library page.
• Web part displays an error when a list contains a Managed Metadata column.
• Creating a new folder from the toolbar does not display that folder in the left tree pane.
• Creating a new discussion board topic from the toolbar does not display that topic in the left tree pane.
• The tree does not expand if a group name contains a special character.
• The height of the vertical scroll bar in the left pane is smaller than the web part container when connected to an out-of-the-box Team Discussion list.

Known Issues:

• Connecting to Bamboo’s Discussion Board Plus as the data source displays an “object reference not set as an instance of an object” error.
• Custom CSS does not appear on the Web Part if the list contains more than 100 files and folders.
• Scrolling across the last column’s header border causes a horizontal scroll bar to appear.
• Changing the automatically expand level setting to “None” may still automatically expand the left tree pane levels.
• Left pane displays a expand tree icon next to a folder containing no subfolders (fixed for SharePoint Documents and Picture Libraries).
• The left tree nodes automatically collapse when switching between views from the toolbar.
• When accessing the web part using Internet Explorer 9, the expand/collapse icons and folders are displayed in two separate lines if the folder name contains a long string of characters. Workaround: Increase the width of the left tree pane.

Limitations:

• Selected files or folders row may not remain highlighted during the process of dragging and dropping.
• No hover-over color is displayed in the right view pane if the web part is configured to display Skins from the Look and Feel setting.
