Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04

In Ubuntu 22.04 Nautilus > Preferences you have "Expandable Folders in List 
View"
If you activate the "Tree" option, the arrow in front of the folders will be 
present even for empty folders.

The arrow should only be present before folders when the parent
directory is not empty, but it is always present, which causes a lot of
confusion. What's the trick to expanding an empty folder?

I use Nemo as File Manager on another laptop and the arrow before the
folder is only present if that folder is not empty. Which also makes
sense!

A few days ago I posted this issue (including screenshots) on AskUbuntu
and other users confirmed that it's a BUG, as it is reproduced to them
too:
