I suppose it is similar if not the same issue, see below details. 

In my case I am talking about mounted drives, for example in my /etc/fstab I
mount the following drives as follows

mount /dev/sda2/ /home/userme/mydrives/drivefolder0
mount /dev/sda2/ /home/userme/mydrives/drivefolder1
mount /dev/sda2/ /home/userme/mydrives/drivefolder2
mount /dev/sda2/ /home/userme/mydrives/drivefolder3
mount /dev/sda2/ /home/userme/mydrives/drivefolder4

(etc)

All of the mounted drives show up in the left side pane tree with no apparent
way to hide them
userme
Desktop
Trash
Network
drivefolder0
drivefolder1
drivefolder2
drivefolder3
(etc)
File System

Note: The mounted drives may be displayed as the partition label since the
folder name I use is the same as the partition label.

When I navigate to /home/userme/mydrives and click on drivefolder0 (or 1, 2, 3
...) the expected behavior is for drivefolder0 to be selected.

The actual behavior is the view jumps out from
/home/userme/mydrives/drivefolder0 and into the left side pane view with
drivefolder0 selected.

When I look closer at your example, in my case, when I select
/home/userme/Desktop, sure enough it jumps out of /home/userme/Desktop and into
the left side pane view with Desktop selected, so it does seem like similar
behavior to what I am describing.

For the mounted drive folders and also for /home/userme/Desktop, when I try to
navigate through the subfolders, it will always jump back to the left pane
view, and that forces me to always have to browse through the left side pane
which is not so great to say the least, especially when I'm trying to do work
and organize files across the mounted drives.
