Collapse by level - UI glitches?

Bike Outliner

Not sure if this was always the case, but collapsing by level on 182 has this strange UI effect:

Perhaps a discussion for a different topic, but related to collapsing by level:
Tana’s outliner has the ability to collapse/expand child rows by keeping the cursor on the parent row, and then toggling the shortcut for (single) row expansion. Same in reverse. I wonder if there is a use case for this shortcut economy in Bike, too (I’m also not sure if Tana’s design was intentional or not - no other outliner I use does this).

Not sure if there is a word missing there ?

(you mean column 182 ? Presumably not level 182 ?)

No, the number of the preview version.

Thanks I can reproduce this and am looking into it. Also thinking about collapse idea.

Dug more into this. What I’ve found is:

  1. I think the glitch has been in all versions that support collapse by level
  2. It’s certainly not ideal, but it corrects itself after a moment, and only shows up if you collapse by level multiple times in quick succession.
  3. Hard to fix, I tried a few things, but they all broke some other animation
  4. Glitch is already fixed in 2.0 codebase due to new design

End result is I think I will leave this as is.
