Issue: Internet Explorer Favorites Menu incorrectly displayed

Folders arrows appear on links, not folders

Interesting problem - the Favorites menu in Internet Explorer is displaying the arrows for the shortcuts and not the folders (back-to-front). However, the Favorites menu in Windows Explorer is displayed correctly.

WB 4.x (latest) on WinXP Pro SP2 with current Windows Updates

EDIT: Just confirmed this is also a problem in the WB5 beta. Happens with all skins (however, all skins have been 'debugged' with SkinStudio so it may be a fault in the way SkinStudio saves the skins).

I've encountered this bug as well. However, it doesn't happen all the time.

I think the reason I hadn't noticed it before was because it is only now that I have started using custom folder icons for certain parts of the Favorites tree (eg: pre-provided corporate Intranet links, to make them stand out from user-created links).

When your folders appear as the 'yellow folder' icon and your shortcuts as 'web page' or other icons, it is easy to ignore the arrows. Once you start having icons for folders as well, the arrows are the only way to tell something is a folder or not.
