Sidebar Menu state not kept when navigating between sections

[mjpraxis]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

14.2.0

Bug summary

The trees in Content/Media sections do not remember the last selected node when returning to the tree in the sections.

It works fine in version 13 and previous versions.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Create a simple content tree of nodes. Just a root node with a single child is enough.
Select a node below root level
Switch to the Media section and then back to Content section. The tree is now collapsed and only shows the root nodes.

Expected result / actual result

Expected that the previous selected content node would be active/selected and the tree expanded.

Hi there @mjpraxis!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

@madsrasmussen have you thought more on how to fix/handle this issue?
Your comment in another issue regarding the same #17554 (comment)

It looks like there are several issues that describes the same problem.

Right now we have a hand full of editors testing and producing content in v15. And this issue is on the top of their list of things that could make their day better with Umbraco.

As a tip, instead of clicking back to the content tab you can use the back button in the browser, I know it's not ideal but it might make your editors a little happier. The tree doesn't open up to the selected node, but at least it gets you back to where you were without having to find the exact node again:

@nul800sebastiaan the issue is that the tree is collapsed when returning to it

It is still a problem in v15.2.0
