The repo view does not handle expansion and selection preservation well. To fix it would be a fair amount of work and we do not have the manpower to address it. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

I'm not sure how to explain this, so I'll make a picture. In eclipse project repository, one small part can be represented as follows. HEAD ... org.eclipse.compare.examples.xml (first) ... platform-compare-examples org.eclipse.compare.examples.xml (second) The "platform-compare-examples" is an "alias", but I don't think that really matters. Its more the position and/or depth. If I double click or try to expand the second, nested instance of org.eclipse.compare.examples.xml then the list and selection jumps around, and the ~first~ occurance in the list is the one expanded. From some "local" experiments, I think it really is the position, if I rename so "a" comes before "o", HEAD ... a-platform-compare-examples org.eclipse.compare.examples.xml (first) ... org.eclipse.compare.examples.xml (second) ... Then its still the first occurance that expands, not the second (even though its now the deeper one. I swear I've seen similar bugs against the project/package navigators, but can't find them now. And, I tried a maintenance build and still seems broken in Repository Explorer. This does have an impact to WTP, since I'd like to define some modules and aliases to better represent our project's features hierarchy, but if the nodes do not expand right and the tree jumps around, then it gets so confusing as to be not worse that worthless (that is, confusing). So .. would be nice to fix in maintenance release, if possible.
