Error not propagating when sub-tree is open in Tree Side Pane

Version information

Version: 4.20.4

Distro: Manjaro 5.15.9-2

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a directory with no permissions for the current user
sudo mkdir testfolder
sudo chmod 0700 testfolder
  1. Select Tree Side Pane from View -> Side Pane
  2. Opening testfolder from the main view should throw error
  3. Expand the sub-tree from the side pane so testfolder is visible there.
  4. Open testfolder from either the side pane or the main view. It doesn't throw an error

Current behavior

Opening a directory without permissions while it is visible in the Tree Side Pane doesn't result in an error. Whereas when the sub-tree is collapsed, opening it results in an error. This doesn't happen in h

Expected outcome

An error should be displayed regardless of how it is open and in what state the side pane is in. This doesn't happen with the Shortcut Side Pane
