STOP FOLDERS FROM AUTO COLLAPSING???

i have a model with parts organized into different folders - i have a folder with dozens of parts in it and i need to individually change the configuration on each one. i expand the folder, change the config of the first part, right click on the next part, change the configuration, and when i hit the checkmark to confirm, the folder collapses, and i have to expand it again to change the configuration on the next part. it keeps collapsing the folder every other time i make a change - how do i get folders to stay expanded without collapsing on their own? my work has me using "sw design" right now, previous version of sw didnt have this problem.
