Not all stashed files are showing in SourceTree

Using SourceTree for MAC, 4.2.7, not all stashed files are shown.

I have a repository in which I've created a single stash.  When I click on the stash, only about one-half of the files in the stash show.  I can confirm they are in there by doing a

git stash show stash@{0}

This feels like a bug.

In my case, the stash contains 70 files, under two top-level folders in the repository.  What is interesting is that all the files in the first folder are shown (A.B.API in the example below), and none of the files in the second folder show (A.B).  There may be something going on related to how the file names are parsed.

A.B.API/Queries        - These show fine
A.B.API/Types          - These shown fine
A.B/.Docs - These do not show
A.B/XXX - These do now show

Also - just a hunch, but when the files stop showing it is one a folder name that starts with a dot (.).  This is done so that in the IDE the folder sorts to the top, but it could be giving SourceTree an issue.

Any ideas on how to get SourceTree to show these, or is this a bug?

Thanks!

Hi @Bill-Baird

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

I believe this is a known bug in Sourcetree for Mac, where its UI mishandles file paths with dots (.) or certain special characters in folder names. When Sourcetree encounters a file path starting with a dot or matching the system's directory separator format, it incorrectly truncates the visual list in the UI.

There should be a newer version 4.2.17 that might have solved this.
