Screenshot showing the issue

SUMMARY
Clicking on arrows in Dolphin's breadcrumbs bar (the thing that appears when the address bar is not editable) opens a dropdown showing all the folders at that level. If this list of folders is very long, the menu initially allows the user to hover at the top/bottom of the list to expose more entries. But after scrolling this way for a few entries, the list comes to a premature end and the rest of the items are displayed in a nested 'more' submenu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Dolphin, open a folder whose parent folder has a lot of other folders
2. In the breadcrumbs bar, click on any arrow to show the list of folders at that level (make sure this level has a lot of folders)

OBSERVED RESULTS
The dropdown allows you to hover at the bottom/top to show more (note the arrow at the top of the menu in the attached screenshot), but then suddenly there is also a nested 'more' submenu (see the item under the cursor in the attached screenshot).

EXPECTED RESULTS
Stick to a single paradigm of exposing additional entries. Either allow the user to scroll by hovering at the top/bottom, or show a 'more' submenu. Doing both at the same time is weird.
