Can you reproduce this with Files Stable?

What is Files Stable?

The normal version of Files (Yellow icon) 3.9.1

OK got it, have not used the stable version. When purchased, I installed 3.9.15.0 on two Windows PRO 24H2 machines. Both exhibit the same issue with the 3.9.15.0 version and the current 3.9.16.0 Version.
