Example - I have 300 folders and 1000 files in one folder. When I made changes
to one of the folder, I'm exiting it with Up and drag and drop this folder. Now
I can't find it because of the many folders and it takes me considerable time
to find the folder. And when you have to seek a folder 300 times a day, it's
deadly and you begin to wondering why someone should ruin your favorite file
manager.

Here's not a kindergarten. This feature is wrong by design. I can give you
hundresds of dangerous PC situations and we have to rewrite the entire DE
because of them? It's ridiculous.
