This is not available on the old version of Files, this is the new version of Files will appear, and this BUG really affects the actual experience

[Guiruo]

A fresh install doesn't work, I've reported this problem before, but you guys don't think it's a bug, but I'm pretty sure that in the same system, the old version of V3.0 doesn't have this problem, I hope it can be fixed as soon as possible, I've also tried a fresh install of Windows, but to no avail.

Ah sorry I referenced another issue, how about this? "Current workaround - Backup your settings in Files settings > Advanced > Export, then reinstall Files."
