Bug Description

This seems to be a bug as it is not such a useful thing and may confuse some people as it brings you to the path behind the fake path "trash:///". The thing is that when I move a folder into Trash, and then go into the folder while it is still in Trash, instead of the path at the top being "trash:///Folder", it becomes the actual real path to that folder's location in your actual file system and becomes ("<username>" replaced by your actual username): "/home/<username>/.local/share/Trash/files/Folder". This is not such a problem, but for the sake of perfection I think that it should not take you to the actual location in the file system, but stay with the fake Trash path.

There is also no way of emptying the Trash in the location it takes you to, and you would have to go back, but this could confuse some people.
