Thanks, the video is useful showing you use the list mode. Does it happen if you use the icons view?

It works fine in icons view. I always use list view however because I need
to refer to the metadata quite often in my workflow.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

As far as I see, the 'Add Bug URLs:' is not available there. It is
described in the instructions you linked to use it.
