can't move a file to the next directory up

[ph]

In the Ubuntu-file-manager-app

What you expected to happen:

Let's say I have a "Classic Rock" directory that contains a "Led Zeppelin" subdirectory with only one Led Zeppelin song file inside it. I want to move the song file back to the "Classic Rock" directory above, and I want to delete the unnecessary "Led Zeppelin" subdirectory which had only had one file in it anyway.

I expect to be able to click on the "Classic Rock" directory and I expect there to be no subdirectory selected yet. Therefore, I could click the "Select" button which would move the "Led Zeppelin" song up to the "Classic Rock" directory, thus leaving me free to delete the now empty "Led Zeppelin" directory.

What actually happened:
If I open the "Led Zeppelin" subdirectory and I right click on the song, and I select "Move to ..."
from the dropdown menu, and then I left click the "Classic Rock" directory, it is still showing the Led Zeppelin subdirectory highlighted in orange. I want to be able to either have it not selected, or to be able to unselect it.

Because I can't unselect it, it keeps trying to move the file back into the same Led Zeppelin subdirectory, even though I want to move it to the "Classic Rock" directory. Nothing I do makes it unselect that subdirectory.
