Description

As TreeControl is deprecated, I started migrating to the latest API using childrenAccessor. So far so good, except for one case not working any more.

I'm using matTreeNodePadding and matTreeNodePaddingIndent on <mat-tree-node>. When I move a node inside/outside of an expandable node, padding is not recomputed as-is.

Expanding/collapsing the parent node in which the node was moved, will recompute its padding though.

Reproduction

Minimal example on Stackblitz.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open link
2. Open preview in a new tab
3. Open both folders (/ and home)
4. Follow instructions to move a node outside its parent node

dataSource is updated with a new array, using the same items. Can it be a source of error? Should the entire tree be cloned somehow, to trigger changes detection down to padding computation?

Expected Behavior

When a node is moved inside/outside of an expandable node (level is changed), padding should be recomputed based on the new level of the node.

Actual Behavior

Padding of the node is not updated when moving the node inside/outside of an expandable node.
