Topic bug?

[Emerick Rogul <emerick@cs.bu.edu>]

Hi,

I'm using the latest development version of Oort Gnus from CVS and
I've noticed what I consider to be a bug with topics.

I have gnus-topic-display-empty-topics set to nil in my .gnus.el, so
empty topics aren't shown by default.  If I want to enter an empty
group for some reason, I hit 'j' and enter the group name.  The group
and the appropriate topic now appear in the group buffer, but only the
topic _directly_ above the group shows up.  I would expect all of the
topics to appear when I jump to the group.  For example, if I have a
layout like this:

  [ topic1 ]
    [ topic2 ]
      [ topic3 ]
        nnml:foo
    [ other topic ]
    [ another topic ]

When I hit 'j', to make nnml:foo appear, I would expect to see all of
the topics containing it displayed as above.  However, this is what I
see instead:

  [ topic1 ]
      [ topic3 ]
        nnml:foo
    [ other topic ]
    [ another topic ]

As you can see, this is a bit confusing, because you don't see topic2
any more (even though indentation indicates that a topic _should_ be
there).  I think it'd be much better if 'j' made nnml:foo, topic1,
_and_, topic2 (and any topics that are parents of topic2) appear in
the group buffer.

Does anyone agree/disagree with this?
