Description Dean 2022-06-08 15:56:52 UTC
SUMMARY
Whenever you press or invoke "Up" action from the toolbar button or using a shortcut (e.g. Alt+Up), the previously selected (and focused/entered) directory is not preserved and instead being reset, so when you press any arrow key, the selection will start from the very first item instead of the previously selected, focused/entered directory. Which basically the same behaviour as the Back action, because when you go back either pressing the toolbar button or using shortcut (e.g Alt+Left, Backspace) the previously selected directory is still selected.

Yes I know the actual behaviour is quite different as Back means back from where we came from as for Up is going up the directory tree, so I just want the "previously entered directory" is preselected when we go "Up"


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a directory, preferably any directory that is in the middle of the view
2. Go Up
3. Press any cursor to select a directory, e.g Right

OBSERVED RESULT
- The selected directory is reset to the very first item, so when you are traversing a directory manually and press Up, you have to manually select the last directory which is annoying and tedious

EXPECTED RESULT
- The previously entered directory is preselected just like when using Back action

I'm sorry for being out of topic, I wish we have the ability to edit the detail of the bug as I create some typos and grammar mistakes and can't seem to find an edit anchor to edit the content, so I apologize for the badly written content on this one.
