I noticed this happening after updating to DOpus 10. When I open a lister, and then try to goto the Dropbox folder (located in my Users folder in Windows 7 Ultimate) it doesn't actually show the contents of the folder. The animation plays in the lister display like it's loading a new window, but it just remains showing whatever folder I was in beforehand.

I have also noticed that when this happens, it places an additional Dropbox folder in the treeview, like this:

I notice that the first one has the little check mark overlay that Dropbox puts on there to show me my files are synced, yet the second one does not. No matter which one I click, the contents won't display. It does this randomly. I have yet to determine what makes the Dropbox eventually show.

I have updated to the latest Dropbox just in case, and it still does this.

I have discovered that I can expand the first Dropbox listed, and it shows the folders therein in the tree, but the bottom Dropbox does not respond to expansion.

Further folders in the Dropbox folder also do not respond to expansion, nor do they let you view their contents.

When I right click the Dropbox tray icon and go "View Dropbox folder" it loads the Dropbox folder in DOpus just fine. When I do this, there is only 1 Dropbox folder listed in the tree, and everything seems to behave normally.

No guarantee - but perhaps the current [10.0.0.3 beta version](http://resource.dopus.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14387) might fix this?

That appears to have fixed it! Thanks! I never think to update to Betas normally, as "beta" has a connotation of "broken" to me. Haha.
