Thanks for reporting. Does this also happen with 8.4.4?

[lastsecondsave]

No, on 8.4.4 everything is good.

Okay, it's a regression then.

[squidfunk]

Fixed in f30775f. It was indeed a regression related to the merge, as the navigation code is slightly different in Insiders due to the support for navigation icons, status and pruning.

Released as part of 8.5.2.
