Files: When clicking on specific folders in the path, the highlighting in the navigation bar on the left doesn't change

Describe the bug
When clicking on specific folders in the path, the highlighting in the navigation bar on the left doesn't change.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Downloads -> "Downloads" is highlighted
  2. Click on a folder inside downloads -> highlighting on the left changes to "Local Disc"
  3. Click on "Downloads" in the path-bar -> highlighting doesn't change back to "Downloads" but remains on "Local Disc"

Expected behavior
highlighting should change to "Downloads" like it does when navigating back with the button or navigating to the parental directory with the button.

Screenshots
"Downloads" should be highlighted but "Local Disc" is highlighted:

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS Version: Windows 10 1903
  • App version: [v0.5.0]

Additional context
Does this problem occur again after restarting the app? YES!
I haven't found any issue that addresses this so I opened a new one.

bug fixed

We've made changes for v0.7.3 that will make this behavior more consistent.

BTW: I wonder if it wouldn't be better to remain the highlight on downloads when navigating into a folder inside the downloads folder? (Sounds somehow more intuitiv to me but isn't the current behavior of file explorer)

This is great feedback, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

@yaichenbaum Do you have any thoughts on: https://github.com/duke7553/files-uwp/issues/275#issuecomment-551854144 ?

I agree with your comment.

Okay, then the same behavior should probably get applied to all other favorit items as well to be consistent. (also self addeditems?)
Shall I open a new issue for that to track it seperately?

I think this issue covers everything so there is no need for another one.

We've made changes for v0.7.3 that will make this behavior more consistent.

This should be fixed when the v0.7.3 release rolls out.
