Im not sure is this a bug in vista, or the design have been changed from xp.

Said we have a folder A, which has a subfolder B.
If we expand A, then select folder B in folder/nagivation pane, the right
pane will display the files and/or subfolder in folder B.
Then if we collapse folder A, what happen in xp is that, folder A will be
highlighted and the right pane will display the files and/or subfolder in
folder A.

But in vista, folder A is still highlighted, BUT in right pane, it will
still display the files and/or subfolder in folder B!

This make user misunderstood that, those are the files/subfolder in folder A
(if he dont look at the path at top).
Even if later, folder A is expanded, folder A is still highlighted and the
right pane still show files/folder in folder B.

Is this good??
 
Firstly, F5 does not solve it in my vista.
Secondly, this is still confussing even if manually pressing can F5 solve
it.

Bad design.
