Description

I'm using windows 10 and imdisk toolkit to mount the ramdisk on R. it is no problem that starting fman and browsing the root of R drive. it shows root of R drive and I can open files in the root on fman.
(below are errors. of course, it doesn't occur on internal, external drive (USB 3.0 HDD) and mounted CD/DVD ISO image on windows 10)

  1. fman cannot access subfolder of R drive.
    report2

  2. if I closed fman that any pane viewed R drive, (next time) fman have started with Traceback message(pane directory also reset to user directory).
    bugreport

  3. If I rename the file on the root, it works. However, a traceback message appears.
    report3

Research direction

Reproduce the three reported behaviors on Windows 10 with an ImDisk ramdisk mounted as R:, using the screenshots and issue steps as the starting point. Trace failures when opening a subfolder, restarting with R: visible, and renaming a root file; done means these actions work without traceback and the pane directory is preserved.
