Bug: Folder navigates back to parent folder using keyboard navigation when parent isn't fully loaded #15777

Description

In column view, navigating into a folder before its contents are loaded yet using the right arrow key, causes 2 issues. First, the currently selected element becomes the "New tab +" button (disrupting arrowkey navigation). Second, the current directory changes back to a folder in the first column.

Video included here:

What I did in the video: I clicked on the folder "2" and pressed right arrow multiple times very quickly to navigate into the nested folders 3,4,5. The folder structure looks like this:

2
|--3
......|--4
............|--5
...................|--6

When navigating into the folder "4", the current directory became "2" again

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Enable column view
  2. Press right arrow key quickly multiple times in a nested folder directory (more noticeable with external drives, network drives that take longer to load)

Requirements

When trying to navigate into a folder using the right arrow key, if the folder hasn't fully loaded yet, it should just ignore the keypress and do nothing.
