"Sometimes folder is not opened" most likely will be fixed with
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15762#c12

> Ok, then I tried Go>Downloads. Right pane: home/simon/downloads (correct).
> Left tree: File System/home/simon/Downloads (wrong)
Not using /home/* is expected here. If some tree is already open, that tree
will be used. Thats a result of the fix from Bug #16024 

> Go>Abft_diving (again): right pane & address bar both correct again, left
> tree is the File System root (wrong).
Possibly fixed by https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15762#c15

Again "Sometimes folder is not opened" most likely will be fixed with
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15762#c12

> go>dropbox: right pane correct, address correct (/home/simon/dropbox),
> sidebar wrong (File System/home/...)
Again not using /home/* is expected here. If some tree is already open, that
tree will be used. Thats a result of the fix from Bug #16024

Yes, as mentioned, actually thats a feature (Bug #16024) ;)

Possibly fixed with https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15762#c12 .. not
sure on that. If you can, please take a try for the attached patch.

What official release of 20.04 ? Anyway, not sure if that willhelp :) .. at
least 2.) possibly will be fixed in thunar 1.8.15

All in all, if Theo's patch does not fix 2.) for you, I would go for a fresh
bug for only 2.) and close this one, since it is already very messed.
