"List" vs "Icon" views switch seems to mess up the listing of parent folder

[Daniel LaSalle]

I have had this problem for many releases already but I am very unsure on what is the main cause but I suspect this:

My main listing setting for caja is "List view". Except under Pictures which is "Icon view". When I access sub-folders (in "List view" mode) and then come back(..) the sorting is sometimes messed up/unworkable. Pressing F5 fixes this.

See screenshots.

The reason I said that I suspected that it was the view modes being culprid is because I am also running this folder via a symlink on my NAS which beats vanilla setup and opens up the vortex of possibilities...
