Comment 2 for bug 118461

This still isn't fixed in current trunk (531):

Case: symlink to stand-alone branch (or how do you call it? Anyway, the .bzr folder contains the history).
- Jumping to folder by changing entry in adress bar + double-clicking on symlink in right window changes view to folder but doesn't show any of the version-controlled files present. Going directly to the folder that is being symlinked works like it should.

Case: symlink to a branch in a repo (so .bzr folder does not contain the history)
- Jumping to folder by changing entry in adress bar does the same as above
- Double-clicking on symlink in right window does nothing

Error message for symlink of repo:
