Closing a folder refreshes the entire Desktop area

Closing a single opened folder will just close the folder without affecting the Desktop area. Now, closing an opened folder tends to refresh the whole Desktop area.

Yes its reproducible, open or create a folder on the desktop then close it again causing the entire desktop area to be refreshed.

But, I had observed that this does not happen to the secondary account I created. It only happen when I use the primary account.

what do you call "refreshed" exactly? you would expect the desktop to not update nor display changes?

[Ian Ace (iaculallad)]

"Refresh" as in all items located on Desktop including auto mounted drives disappear and re-appear.

Normally, closing an opened folder does not automatically "Refresh" the Desktop. Only when you press F5 function key (Desktop is focused) that it refreshes the Desktop.

I'll observe this for now as things seems to be on their right function as of the moment, closing opened folder does not automatically refresh the Desktop.

Thank you,

Ian
