This is not my experience Jitse. If I use the bold folder and up-arrow icons <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kB9a-FADjEc/WHuOfKL2DvI/AAAAAAAAAPA/1bjGFS65C_Iy_nwtW9NRbYOyzB_4MOxPACLcB/s1600/bold%2Bbuttons.png>
to change the path, the working directory changes with it. But if I select folders in the file explorer or use the small up-arrow icons <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lhKPqNydoGI/WHuOsUrFqXI/AAAAAAAAAPE/7xAv-8lmqKQl3PMhNKXeP_ccriz7RH4hgCLcB/s1600/small%2Bbuttons.png> to change the path, the working directory does not follow.
