[SOLVED] Folders in GUI do not expand (both back-up and restore)

Please describe what you are doing to trigger the bug:
Subfolders do not expand in the following cases:

  • Selecting ‘Restore’ in the sidebar, and select a Backup ID and Revision. Then selecting the ‘Revision 1’ folder in the table below.
  • Selecting the local directory to be backed-up, folders do not expand in the ‘file explorer’.
  • Selecting a directory in the include/exclude menu.

Please describe what you expect to happen (but doesn’t):
Showing subfolders works in one instance: when selecting a google drive token file all subfolders are shown as expected:

Please describe what actually happens (the wrong behaviour):
Restoring: When clicking the folder shown in the table, it does not expand like it should:

Selecting backup dir: No subfolders are shown:

Include/exclude: Clicking the system folder does not expand.

The issue seems to be similar to this topic, but in my case no errors are shown in the duplicacy_web.log.

When opening the folder selection menu the following is shown in the log. No further logging happens when selecting different folders.

I am running the web GUI through a Nginx reverse proxy, but the issue remains when accessing directly using local IP. I tested Firefox and Chrome.

Are you clicking on a folder name or a folder icon?

Oh wow…
I was clicking the names. When clicking the icons it expands just fine.
