Description
Platform: macOS 10.14.6
Steps to reproduce:
- Navigate into nested folders 8 levels deep or more
- Keep Cmd+<- pressed to go back to the initial folder
- Move the line cursor one folder down
- Keep Cmd+-> pressed to go to the last nested folder from step 1
Nothing happens for me at step 4. If it does happen, repeating steps 2-4 usually erases history for that pane.
The folders don't have to be nested, it's just easier to reproduce this way. You can also just navigate for a while into various folders using Enter and Backspace and then try steps 2-4.
Note that quickly pressing an arrow key while holding Cmd doesn't seem to trigger the issue, only keeping them both pressed does.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on macOS using the listed navigation-history steps, especially holding Cmd+- while moving the line cursor. Trace the navigation history handling from the keyboard action; done means repeatedly navigating back and forward preserves the pane's history instead of erasing or ignoring it.
