thank you for your bug report, that's not really a bug though since the first click makes the selection active and they you click to enter the directory, you can as well hit enter on the keyboard after typing

Clicking enter on the keyboard is a good way to avoid this bug, but it will not make it disappear.

On the movie:

Music directory is active after typing.
I click on it.
Develop directory is expanded.

It does not make sense in my opinion and i think it is a bug. Why do we open develop directory when i clicked a different one.

When i try to double click Music directory also unexpected result occurs because develop directory is expanded.
