Odd Nested Tag Behaviour in Tag Panel

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

I was playing around with nested tags to determine their value for a database structure & I noted some odd behaviour in the Tag List Pane.

Things I have tried

If I have the following in a document…

  • #music/
    • #artist/
      • #album/
        • #media/
          • #cassette/
            • #home-taped/
              • #music/artist/album/media/cassette/home-taped/compressed/
              • #music/artist/album/media/cassette/home-taped/level/
              • #music/artist/album/media/cassette/home-taped/tape_brand/

… I get exactly as I would expect in the Tag List Panel namely:

However, if I collapse the 3rd last item in line with the previous levels to…

  • #music/
    • #artist/
      • #album/
        • #media/
          • #cassette/
            • #home-taped/
              • #compressed/
              • #music/artist/album/media/cassette/home-taped/level/
              • #music/artist/album/media/cassette/home-taped/tape_brand/

… then the ‘compressed’ tag disappears from Tag Pane entirely as follows:

Why?
What am I missing?
Any pointers appreciated.

All of your first five levels are not nested tags, but just tags in a different list level. So your so called collapseof the compressed tag, is really just a creation of a new to level tag.

The tag pane will build the entire structue based upon your last three tags.
