Description

I've tried this application in many Windows PCs there are folders where it won't let me jump. For example, here I can't 'goto' (Ctrl+P) to "Jesus" folder despite entering it several times by double-clicking. This is my own user folder so there shouldn't be any permission conflicts.

Research direction

Reproduce the problem on Windows by opening the “Jesus” folder through double-clicking, then trying Ctrl+P to use “goto” for that directory. Trace the existing goto behavior from the application entry point; done means directories that have been visited can be reached through Ctrl+P consistently.
