Not toggling tree item .open on select

[sp00x]

Whenever a non-leaf tree item (item with subItems) is selected in vscode-tree then the item is toggled (collapsed/expanded).

I've tried doing e.detail.open = true and e.stopPropagation() and e.preventDefault() and return false in the vsc-tree-select event handler but nothing seems to help against this behavior.

I don't mind it expanding if I click the "/" chyron in front of the icon...

Is this behavior not possible to cancel?

Hacky workaround (that never allows you to close the items...)

  let path = e.detail.path.split('/').map(x => parseInt(x));
  let item = tree?.getItemByPath(path);
  if (item) {
    item.open = true;
  }

Tree component doesn't support this scenario at the time being. Honestly, I don't really want to add new features to this component, because I already working on a new one: #152

I would try the preventDefault() within teh component's shadow dom. It's very hacky, but maybe works.

document.querySelector('vscode-tree').shadowRoot.querySelector('...')

Thanks, I notice this select-toggle behavior is the same in the file tree in VSCode also, so I guess it's some kind of "standard behavior". I'll use my workaround for now then, or test your approach.
