 In WP 4.7 plugin editor only shows files relative to plugin root folder.
 So, in my case if the plugin has 50 php files than only 2 of them are
 shown and I cannot fix an issue related to one of the installed plugins
 without having ftp access, looks like that problem comes from
 '''get_plugin_files()''' in '''wp-admin/includes/plugin.php''' which
 returns '''only files relative to the plugin root folder'''. I saw in trac
 that there are a lot of issue tickets about this  bug but non of them has
 been solved yet.
 see: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-
 admin/includes/plugin.ihp#L191]
 In phpdoc it states that the function will return only List of files
 relative to the plugin room.[[BR]]

 My local server environment
 php version: 7.0.9
 OS: windows 10
 apache version: 2.4.23
