bug in LASTemplate.pm ?

[Andrew Woolf <awo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm too lost in the hash dereferencing etc to work out if this is an
actual bug. However:

I have an example of two datasets. By default, the first is expanded in
the left frame in LAS. If I then select (and expand) the second, then go
back to the first, the first won't expand any more.

Trying to solve this, I found that in setState() (LASTemplate.pm),
if I make the following replacement near the beginning, it works:

    if ($op eq 'normal'){
        $stateName = 'state';
#       $state = $self->{sessionData}->{$stateName};
        $state = $self->{$stateName};
    } elsif ($op eq 'compare'){
     ...

Can someone (Joe or Steve? :-) ) who knows this code better than I suggest
whether this is a bug, and if not - any ideas on why my user interface
won't open. I can provide XML if needed.

Thanks very much,
 - Andrew
