Thank you for bringing this to our attention, it also looks like the tag icon is misaligned but that's a separate issue.

Can you tell us how did you set these?

Thank you

This seems to occur when a shortcut to a folder is selected and then a file further on is selected.
When a shortcut is selected, should the shortcut destination be opened in a new column as if it were a symbolic link?

[yaira2]

Would it be worth checking the behavior in Finder?

[hishitetsu]

The same behavior is observed in Finder. So this behavior should not be changed and the file should be opened correctly.

I found the cause of the problem and I'll try to find a fix. When I added the feature to close unfocused blades, I did not think of shortcuts

@rafaskb we implemented a fix and it'll be included in one of the next releases.
