revealInExplorer command does not highlight folders

[pmeijer]

Bug Description:

The command revealInExplorer does not highlight folders (it only opens up the folder and parent-folders) making it almost impossible to locate the folder in some cases.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a new extension and call:

await vscode.commands.executeCommand('revealInExplorer', folderUri);

Here are the results in Theia vs VsCode.

Any workaround like a command for focusing the folder node would be highly appreciated.

@pmeijer I haven't looked into this yet, so no recommendation for a workaround. However, if you find a fix for the issue, feel free to contribute it back to this repo :)

Not too sure about this, but I can imagine that the behavior broke with #11200.
