Bug description
File info does not display when navigating to a folder or adding file info to a folder when navigating to said folder from favorites. Note, this bug has been confirmed both with a docker container and a bare metal host install
Steps to reproduce
Super quick way. If you already have a folder with a Readme.md file and it displays the folder info properly. Add that folder to Favorites and then navigate back to that folder from Favorites. The folder info will not display.
Or, the longer way ( but still easy )
In File settings, check show folder description is checked.
- Create a folder and add description. You will see the folder info displayed in top pane as designed.
- Add this folder to favorites. Navigate away from this folder and then return to this folder from favorites. The folder info does not display.
- From the folder which you just navigated to from favorites, add a new child folder, select that folder and add description. The file info does not display.
- Now, navigate away from this folder and return to it directly and you will see folder info displayed.
Expected behavior
I expect to see the folder info displayed in the upper pane above the folders when navigating to folders from Favorites.

Hi, I confirm I also have this bug since upgrading to NC28. Would be great to fix it as the favorite shortcut is pretty handy !
Confirmed The same happens if you follow an internal link to the folder. (I guess favorites are internal links.)
I appreciate others confirming this bug. Nextcloud team, can you please confirm if this bug is in the pipeline to be fixed for next maintenance release? Thank you.
With all due respect, this bug was opened on Feb 6th and has been confirmed as a bug. The latest maintenance release did not include a fix. Is there a reason this bug is not getting the proper attention? Thank you.
It looks like the solution explained at https://perron.de/nextcloud-27-upgrade-auf-28-ordner-werden-nicht-angezeigt/ is a temporary bug fix: If you disable folder descriptions (in the "files settings" menu), the folder content is visible again. @nickvergessen: Is this such an uncommon bug that it has not yet been addressed?

I'm not involved in the files app, so I don't know. But 1 upvote on the issue seems to indicate that. unsubscribes again
In version 30.0.2 if you select and navigate by using the "All folders" tree view, it doesn't show the folder description on top. (/files/folders/) If you have selected the "All files" option and navigate normally in the right pane, it will show the folder description on top. (/files/files)
So it seems to me that it only shows the folder description on top when we have selected "All files".
Another thing that it's not consistent is this view:
sometimes this;
sometimes this:
(don't know if it's related with the same problem)
