I prefer to fix the actual bug, even if it is more work ... workaround tend to
hang around forever.

Actually that would be a hell of work. No way.

Not sure if that is a feature or a bug.

That problem only exists for tree-view (Bug #14369), and is already on the 4.16
roadmap: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.16/roadmap/thunar
