uitree cannot expand subdirectories when trailing filesep is missing.

I know that uitree is unsupported, but I thought it would be good to let you guys know about this bug anyways.

I have found a workaround already, so this is not really a question but a source of information for others. If this is not rhe right place for such a thing, please move it where it belongs.

Problem:

uitree cannot expand subdirectories when trailing filesep is missing.

I am using matlab version 2014b

Example (on a mac):

Folder tree:

/Users/foo/
           bar/
               subbar1/
               subbar2/
           bas/

Matlab code to reproduce problem:

mtree=uitree('v0','root','/Users/foo');
node=mtree.Root.getChildAt(0);
mtree.expand(node);
node.getChildCount

ans = 0

The reason can be seen with

node.getValue

ans =

/Users/foobar/

Note that the slash between foo and bar is missing (the path has been f* up beyond all recognition ;-).

Workaround:

If I call uitree with a trailing slash in the path, everything works fine:

mtree=uitree('v0','root','/Users/foo/');
node=mtree.Root.getChildAt(0);
mtree.expand(node);
node.getChildCount

ans = 2

node.getValue

ans =

/Users/foo/bar/
