navigate accounts tree is painful!

[Chris Snow-3]

Navigating the accounts tree is painful
(https://demo.ofbiz.org/accounting/control/GlAccountNavigate?trail=null).
Currently you can only view one top level account at a time.  Selecting
another top level account collapses the tree for any other top level
account that you were viewing.

I was just looking at the account navigator for Neogia
(https://demo.neogia.org/accounting/control/NGlAccountNavigator).  This
tree navigator is much easier to use.

Is there a reason why the ofbiz navigator currently works as it does,
and why it isn't more like the Neogia one?

Many thanks,

Chris

No reason that I'm aware of, except that I believe the tree widget is  
currently only capable of maintaining the state of single path.
