Description

I noticed that when I use the GUI client on OSX and click on the folder button (upper left), the public folder will show empty. In a split second you see the contents of the folder, after that the folder will show empty. However, when I browse directly to it with OSX Finder, or using the commandline, the folder shows it's contents normally.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the OSX GUI client through the upper-left folder button, then compare the public folder with OSX Finder and the command line. Use log id 1eceeedf96cda0d83bd4b71c to investigate; done means the GUI consistently displays the public folder contents instead of an empty folder.
