Public bug reported: When using the tree view in the sidebar in Nautilus, if you click on the triangle next to a folder to expand it and keep the pointer over the triangle, no amount of additional clicking on the triangle will then collapse the folder. However, if you briefly move the mouse off of the triangle (even just slightly) and then back onto the triangle, you can then collapse the folder again. This is annoying when you want to quickly expand a folder to see its subfolders and then immediately collapse again.
Attached is a screen recording showing the problem. Although you cannot tell from the video, when I am holding the pointer over the triangle next to the expanded folder, I am repeatedly clicking on it, but nothing is happening -- then as soon as I move the pointer away and back again, clicking does collapse the folder.
