Description

Even for the same file, ie. sometimes an icon is displayed for file c:\foo.txt, at other times it isn't.
When an icon isn't displayed for a file, both panes are unable to display it. Seems like a problem with IconProvider?

Research direction

Start by tracing the IconProvider mentioned in the report and reproduce the behavior with the same file, such as c:\foo.txt, in both panes. Compare runs where the icon appears and does not appear; done means the same file consistently displays its icon in both panes.
