The highlight is not going to the target folder.

I moved a file inside a folder and the focus went to an unrelated folder (see attached video). That makes such operations not predictable, and doesn't allow to elegantly press Enter to access the folder you just moved the file into.

Perhaps this could be partially related to Bug 416980 ?

From what I can see, the behaviour is predictable.

When you move an item:
- If it is the last item in that folder, the focus will move to the last item in the folder
- Otherwise, the focus will move to the next item

Perhaps this could be changed into a wishlist then? Since focusing on the target makes a lot more sense than always focus on a unrelated file/folder.
