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).
