    I can not believe what's happening. I haven't had this bug up until today. Note: I keep my W11 fully updated. Today this update came up on my system - KB5034123. After installing it, the "Expand to open folder" functionality is broken on my system. So that's odd.

    I have tried rebooting and turning the 'expand to open folder' option on and off, and I see no change. For me, this option is still broken.
