Bug 24521 [Viewers] TreeViewer.update() does not work correctly with filter
When I add an element which does not satisfy the filtering condition and then update it so that it does, call to update does not show the element. This is because[StructuredViewer.update]: public void update(Object element, String[] properties) { Assert.isNotNull(element); | Widget item = findItem(element); | if (item == null) | return; the code silently ignores that the element may become visible... btw. later in code of this method: if (needsRefilter) { refresh(); return; } This is quite inefficient, as it needs to query all visible items; however only one element may actually change (change visibility and/or sort order).

protected void handleDoubleSelect(SelectionEvent event) {
		
		
		
		Control control = getControl();
		if (control != null && !control.isDisposed()) {
			
			
			
			
			ISelection selection;
			if (event.item != null && event.item.getData() != null) {
				selection = new StructuredSelection(event.item.getData());
			}
			else {
				selection = getSelection();
				updateSelection(selection);
			}
			fireDoubleClick(new DoubleClickEvent(this, selection));
		}
