Thunar displays wrong directory content after unpacking archives or moving/replacing files

  1. Steps to reproduce:
  • open an empty directory in Thunar and terminal
  • execute:
mkdir -p dir
touch dir/file
touch file
mv dir/file file

Current behavior: dir is visible, but file is not visible. Refresh is needed.

Expected behavior: dir and file are visible.

  1. Steps to reproduce:
  • open an empty directory in Thunar and terminal
  • create archive with single file:
touch file
gzip file
  • unpack the archive from context menu using engrampa

Current behavior (mostly, but not always): file (2) directory and file.gz are visible. Refresh is needed.

Expected behavior: file and file.gz are visible.
