    Description

      Issue

      When the model is asynchronous (like QFileSystemModel, or the example model at https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtopcua.git/tree/examples/opcua/opcuaviewer ), expandToDepth() might stop expanding before the desired depth is reached.

      The same occurs with expandAll().

      Demo

      #include <QtWidgets>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	QApplication a(argc, argv);
      
      	auto model = new QFileSystemModel;
      	model->setRootPath("C:/tmp");
      
      	QTreeView tree;
      	tree.setModel(model);
      
      	QPushButton button("Click me to expand");
      	QObject::connect(&button, &QPushButton::clicked, [&]{
      		tree.expandToDepth(3);
      	});
      
      	tree.show();
      	button.show();
      
      	return a.exec();
      }
      
      • Expected behaviour: 1 click should expand the tree to depth 3
      • Actual behaviour: Multiple clicks are required to reach depth 3 (Although depending on your filesystem size, the last click will likely freeze the app)

      Workaround

      Call `expandToDepth(depth)` repeatedly (with a slight wait between each call) until the desired depth is reached. Each call causes the model to fetch a bit more data, so it allows expansion to proceed a bit further.
