Column layout doesn't go to the correct folder level #7109

Description

When using column layout and open a subfolder is already opened in a new column, actual folder path still keeps in the current level.

For example, when I open "Downloads" folder from home, the tab name and file path are correct.

But when I (double or single) click on any subfolder, it is opened in a new column on the right, but neither the path nor the tab name is changed.

This becomes a problem when I want to create new files or copy files into this opened subfolder. I thought I have already opened it, but after I ctrl+v or create new stuffs, they will be in "Downloads", rather than the opened "DiskGenius" folder, since the current path is not updated into it.

For now, I have to click one more time in the column of the newly opened folder to "activate" it.

Also, no matter how deep I navigate into a folder tree, the tab name is always the root folder. In this case "Downloads".

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Set the layout as "Columns"
  2. Start from some root folder
  3. Open a subfolder
  4. Then you see this subfolder is not in the folder path, also not in the tab name.
  5. If you just hit ctrl+v or create new stuffs, they won't be in the opened subfolder, but in the root.

Expected behavior

As long as I clicked to open a subfolder, the subfolder should be the "active" "current" folder. The folder path should be updated, as long as the tab name.
