When going back to last folder, remember the location and do not locate twice about files HOT 6 CLOSED

It seems the files app just reloads the folder again when I go back to the last folder.
For efficiency, maybe add a LRU cache for visited folders?

Thank you for the report, the underlying issue is being tracked in this issue #14119. I looked into this once and it had something to do with virtualization but further debugging is needed.

If you prefer to disable this behavior in the meantime, you can turn off the auto scroll setting from the Files & Folders page.

Can you explain how virtualization has anything to do with it?
I am sorry but to me, it looks like a purely UI bug:

1. The last opened folder is not cached. The icons and thumbnails will reload again when I click the back button
2. The last scroll offset is not stored. It looks like it finds the location of the previous folder and simply scrolls to that folder. I am expecting it will scroll to the same offset when I leave the folder (so the previous folder is not necessarily at the first position).

I'm not sure exactly and why it's only some of the time, but my understanding is that it can't locate the correct position of the item to scroll to.

This is unpredictable as the folder contents can update.

Yeah, but most of the time it just stays the same, you can restore the scroll offset and content from the cache, and when you find anything different from the actual file system, update the folder list asynchronously. This can help the app be more responsive.
