v321 tree options - problem

Expand children when item is selected - not
Scroll item to top of tree when selected - not

Are you expecting these settings to affect selecting an item with the mouse? This is not the case, these options control "going to an item" when navigating from a different pane (such as dbl-clicking on a search result or child item).

It would be very non-standard (and annoying?) to have the Data Explorer scroll a "just clicked" item to the top of the pane...

Note: that the "Single-click to expand an item" option essentially provides "Expand children when going to item" functionality for mouse click selection (disabled by default).

Understood. dbl click child & in explorer the item is not scrolled to the top.

It will only scroll the items far enough to make the last expanded tree item visible (otherwise blank space would be displayed in the Data Explorer, which would not be useful). So if there aren't enough items below the item you are "going to", then it won't actually scroll the item to the very "top" of the Data Explorer. It also won't scroll if the Data Explorer is displaying all expanded tree items already (doing so would unnecessarily hide items which also doesn't seem very useful).

Might this explain what you are seeing, or is it actually not scrolling the Data Explorer Pane when it could/should?

what about scrolling left to keep it in view?
