The sidepanel in Thunar v4.18.8 is complete rubbish!

No favourites and different heights of the objects. And if I expand airikr in the sidepanel, all folders in that folder will be listed. It's like the developers of Thunar wanted to make Thunar a clone of Windows Explorer or something. I hate it!

This happened few months ago after an update. On the laptop, I have version 4.18.7 and there's the sidepanel completely normal.

How do I fix this piece of garbage? By downgrading? How?

I've been using the default file manager for Linux Mint Cinnamon (as far as I remember it is), Nemo. It's okay, but I do miss Thunar for several reasons.

The different heights could be related to your custom font or theme. Does it happen on defaults?
- What I can remember, I tried that when Thunar got updated. No difference. The Shortcuts view doesn't have these different heights, so I am now happy :) Time to finally uninstall Nemo.
  
  @airikr @Frellwit you will see that one can not uninstall Nemo from Linux Mint as it is tied to the distro’s WM/DM… but you can replace the default file manager (as you probably did). Thunar rocks!
  
  Hm. You're probably right. When I uninstalled Nemo, it also uninstalled cinnamon-desktop. Luckily, I am using EndeavourOS Xfce 😌
  
  Yepp! Thunar is the best file manager out there for me, and I have tried a handful of them.
  
  @airikr @sjosjo personally, I prefer Nemo for one reason, it will start in two pane mode. Thunar does not.
