What issue are you seeing?
Image

I sometimes "drive" one thread via another. Recently I noticed that doing this will cause the Worker thread to get removed from the folder and it ends up pinned but at the bottom, away from the folder.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create two threads in a project

Pin the project

Instruct one thread to work inside the target/worker thread

Note that the worker thread is removed from the project

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue by creating two threads in a project, pinning the project, and having one thread work inside the other; then trace the folder and thread-state handling for that action. Done means the worker thread remains in its project folder instead of being removed and pinned separately.
