           Summary: Drag and drop files left  of the tree view, dropes it
                    into the non highlighted subfolder of the same line

Screenshot of the issue.

SUMMARY

In the detailed view, a folder is only highlighted if the mouse directly hovers
over the rectangle bounding the icon and the file name.
This is an indicator that this folder will be used. 
If it is not highlighted it should indicate that it's not going to be involved
in an action. 

However, dragging and dropping files left to the tree of subfolders, will
actually copy them into the subfolder (which is in the same line as the mouse
pointer), although it's not highlighted.

It's not quiet easy to undo this unwanted action. Ctrl+R does not work. 

However, if it is actually the intention to drop it into the subfolder, it
would be very convenient if the whole line were highlighted.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Like in the screenshot:

1. Details view
2. Drag files or folders
3. Drop them left of the tree

OBSERVED RESULT
No subfolder is highlighted.
Files or folders are copied into the subfolder, which is in the same line as
the mouse pointer.

EXPECTED RESULT
The files are dropped into the main folder OR the subfolder line is
highlighted.
For the latter case, if the files should go to the main folder, the user would
need to drop it onto the most right folder of the bread crumb or the user first
has to go a level up.
