It seems to go to the last directory that was selected under the current
directory if you press enter, so it's not really random. Pressing delete
on the keyboard works correctly and prompts to remove the right
directory. Nothing happens if you haven't selected anything before
creating the new directory.

By the way, if you create a directory right after starting Thunar, it
isn't even selected.

Just press n to select the folder N or d to select D. The search isn't
case sensitive. Pressing <SHIFT>+N seems to select the first file if
nothing is selected and otherwise adds everything between the selected
file and the one below it to the selection. So it works like
<SHIFT>+down. <SHIFT>+P seems to correspond to <SHIFT>+UP. I fail to see
why this would be intentional.
