</div>

Given this view and components:

view  
–component a (selected)  
----component b  
–component c  
----component d

I collapse component c, so that component d is not visible.

If I switch to Data or Actions then back to UI, component c is expanded and d is visible.

A desired behaviour would be that it remember the expand/collapse state.
