TYPO3 Core

I would like the behaviour as if I clicked on the checkmark button in the select tree when it is opened intially.

The problem currently is when the selectTree is opened and one is already selected it is not visible which is selected. This is not so intuitive for untrained editors and may confuse editors not using this regularly.

This may happen if there are lots of items or expandAll is set to false.

I use a custom extension with treeSelect. The following is set:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['sys_category']['columns']['parent']['config']['treeConfig']['appearance']['expandAll'] = false;

This can also be reproduced with sys_category.

This is what I see when this button is clicked:

Example with sys_category in v14: The selected item is not visible because scrolled away:
