Path shown in the address bar

I connect to many network drives, put the computer in standby and resume at a later time.

I leave many of the network shares open in their tabs. If I switch from "c:\temp" to a network tab, until the connection is restored, TC still shows "c:\temp" in the path bar, which is quite frustrating as I can't tell right away if that tab contains something I should work some more on or I should dismiss it.

PS: I know about the freaking tool-tip :wink:

Well, the current Current directory field shows the current directory. As long as the connection is not reestablished, the current directory remains the same, thus I don't think this can be considered a bug.

TC definitely does not try to reconnect to "c:\temp", so as long as it says "c:\temp" but tries to open a network share I'll consider it a bug.

It's the same situation as in IE (or Firefox for what's worth) that it will not show you the URL for a new opened page until it's fully loaded.

Well, c:\temp is the current directory and where you are trying to connect to will become the current directory when you connect to it.

In my specific tab the net share is the current dir. After TC has done with the connecting, 'c:\temp' might become the current dir.

That is the logical way. If TC does otherwise, well...
