I remember reading about that, haven't tried it yet. Another reason for the existence of Ztree finally getting fixed after how many years? Nearly 20? Ztree should be obsolete within decades at this rate.

Aha, that's why they added it - they had to. It's probably not a sign that they've finally worked out what's needed.

That might be one of the problems I encountered when I tried single click all those years ago.
