   Indeed... As I noted above mangled by me! Thanks to you and Mike E for   
   looking at this.   
      
   I think, however, that's being a bit unfair to me. It probably arose   
   with my previous issue of trying to find the folder expander arrows,   
   which stupidly were hidden by default in 22.3 Nemo in a new pref. I   
   eventually found it in Prefs | Views, but may have previously changed   
   the Sidebar pane view from "Places" to "Tree" as the latter showed   
   expander arrows, and I'd hoped they would also show on the tree displays   
   in the other panes.   
      
   I'm not sure what those "Places" folders are. I thought that they might   
   be shortcut links to the actual folder, but they don't have any   
   "Properties" to check. Some of them are Bookmarks, but not all. This   
   partially explains what's going on:
