    Still occurring in 23H2 build 22631.4037.

    It defies belief this hasn't been prioritised and fixed yet.

    OMG. Thank you for reporting this issue.

    Until I found this post, I thought that I was going insane.

    I'm not sure what the intent of this feature in the new windows 11 file explorer actually was, but this current behavior is infuriating.
