Bug: Shortcuts show up only after multiple refreshes

[RJSonnenberg]

Description

When navigating to certain folders (they are synchronized, local OneDrive folders) that contain shortcuts that point to files on a SMB network share, the shortcuts do not display. After I refresh, 2 or 3 of the shortcuts will appear. After yet another refresh, all 5 of the shortcuts will finally appear. Sometimes, shortcuts that appeared previously will disappear upon refresh.

This appears to be a sporadic issue, happening most of the time, but not all the time. Sometimes they all come back with one refresh. Rarely, no refreshes are necessary. Also rarely, they will not all show up after two refreshes, but it requires multiple refreshes.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open a local OneDrive folder that contains multiple shortcuts that point to files on an SMB share.
2. Refresh until all shortcuts appear.

Is this specific to SMB or does it apply to all shortcuts?

I tested with shortcuts to local files and I don't see the behavior described above. Shortcuts to local files load with all the other files/directories like normal. It only appears to be the shortcuts to SMB file shares that are affected.
