Select "Find" on any data folder, let the finder find result nodes, select some and click on iconed button "Show node in explorer". This should find the node in hieararchy of main explorer. But it doesn't work - until you expand all nodes in explorer on the path to the found node. This worked until dev. build 55, in build 56 it doesn't. I guess the problem is somewhere in org.openide.loaders.FolderChildren (replacing it in 56 from 55 makes it work). Implementation of findChild method looks like it is intended to wait for nodes creation, or not? The code for finding in nodes hierarchy is in module utilities (org.netbeans.modules.search.ResultViewTopComponent.LocationInfoPanel).
this bug blocks #8397, I upped the prio
Fixed in main trunk and in NB 3.1 - will be in dev_build78 (release31_build15) Method findChild will wait for finishing last task that refreshes the children nodes, if it's not in readAccess.
