Bug: Scroll position isn't always in the correct position
Description
When I have a folder with _ at the start it will start the view below them acting like they don't exist. I haven't tested it with other symbols.
Steps To Reproduce
- Create a folder with vertical overflow
- Create a folder with an _ at the start
- Go to previous folder and back
- See folder missing until scrolled up
Expected behavior
Should start at top or directory always

Is this specific to large directories are just when there are enough items to enable the scroll bar?
Ive only had it with large directories (200+) when files and folders load and display in chunks
I just tested it, it is something to do with having folders and files together, either the folders or the files load first so that when it opens it goes to the top of that and then when the other is loaded, the position is partially scrolled. It is not based on file size, Since I used 30 empty files and 28 small images.
Any updates here? It's really not very convenient to open a folder with hundreds of files and land in the middle of the directory, seem like a critical bug to me.
@Kradziej is this only an issue in the downloads folder? If that's the case, you can work around it by setting the grouping type to none.

the position is still not correct when the grouping type is set to none
@JTFA I'm having trouble reproducing this on my device, can you upload a screen recording to GitHub so I can make sure I'm following step by step?

this bug occurs when I open the downloads folder with the default settings just after installation, and my downloads folder contains 70 folders and over 1300 files, and the files and folders span about a year and a half
Without a screen recording it's for me to try and repro, the best I can recommend is to make sure you disabled grouping for the Downloads folder specifically via the toolbar.

is there any other settings you are interested in? I can record the screen now
A screen recording would be helpful, thanks!

What happens if you change the sort by type to name?
when sort by ascending, it is at the correct position. but when sort by descending, the position is at the last folder.
It happen for me with the ascending sort. Descending puts it at the bottom of the folder for me even when the other items are files.
