Collapse group when nested layer is selected
When you have a layer within a group selected, then collapse the group and hide it, the group expands again.
I understand the thought behind this would be to always show the selected layer in an expanded hierarchy, but during my workflow it seems very counter-intuitive and different from the way I have been accustomed to expect adobe products to behave.
I would like to see this changed so when I have a layer selected within a group and I collapse the group and then hide it, the group stays collapsed with the group becoming the main selection instead of the sub layer, that way if you happen to forget where your selection was you at least have the group already selected and can dig through those layers.

This same problem happens to me quite often when I'm working in my files. I have a lot of nested layers under different groups, and I usually need to collapse the entire group and hide it and then show a different group. However, it's incredibly frustrating when I collapse a group, hide it, and it expands again, and then I have to scroll in the layers panel to find the main group folder again to collapse it.

I have this same problem. On the surface, it may sound like an edge case... but it happens to me very often throughout the day. Often enough to make me want to report it :)
