Background folder size and change directory

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Another one, maybe same bug (public beta):
Start to check filesize of an folder (3 GiB on a slower USB device) and change directory before the result is displayed. Then the result will be displayed in the same line as the original directory, even if its now an other !

Cannot confirm, TC stops the calculation immediately when the directory is changed (just tested it with a large directory).

Here is what I tried:
1. Press Alt+Shift+Enter
2. Wait until th '?' comes to a large directory, e.g. the Windows dir
3. Press Enter on it -> the calculation stops.

Can you describe what you do differently?

Slightly different:
Use a slow device (2 different MP3 Players in my case)
Select a lage directory (on the first page) use Space to start calculating, and then Enter before the result is displayed. Voila.
Works 100% while copying to the device (slow it down), after one sucessfull count the content seems to bee cashed, so the result ist displayed too fast!

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it. I have tried it many many times, TC always stopped the calculation even with slow USB devices and background copying. :(

Is anyone else able to reproduce this problem?
