Used space and item count of folder in Properties doesn't take into account hidden files!

Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
- right-click on a folder and select Properties
- look at "Contents" (wait until it is finished computing the totals)

Expected: the total number of items and disk usage should correspond to the real number of items and the real disk usage

Observed: it only takes into account non-hidden folders and files, which renders it useless.

This is so ridiculous.

Marking it as confirmed as there's no need to wait for somebody else to confirm such a trivial thing.
