Not always able to go back to the root of a Project in the data panel

In the newest update of Fusion360 the data panel is slightly adjusted. But I noticed that when your projectfolder name + folder name (inside of the project) combined together are too long you can't go back to the root anymore via the arrows on in top of the data panel. The only way working for me is to get out of the project completely and make my way back into the projects folder structure.

 

Here 2 images to illustrate:

Only the right arrow lights up when hovering over with your cursor.  You can't click the left one. I believe normally there should appear 3 dots in between the two arrows (see bottom picture), which generates a drop down menu of your folder structure. But not in this case.

Different setup just to demonstrate what should happen right?

Yes that's what it should do, you don't have long names.

Its not going well when you have longer names for your project name and folder names. You can try it and I think you should experience the same as I do.

 

I do have to add, I work on MacOsX maybe it's not happening on windows.

* clicking on the right arrow only shows folders on the same level, not one level higher, therefore I can't go back to a previous folder.

Is the previous arrow clickable? One coming out of home icon?

Good findings! There is one issue in this case, the project name is hidden when there are only 2 levels (project -> folder) and their text width are quite long. Couple workarounds here:

1) use home icon go back to project list panel first.

2) enter to 3rd level folder and then the dots (...) would show up for navigating back to your project.

@Anonymous The first left arrow is not clickable as we don't want it to show project lists here. Added a ticket at our internal system to address it (FUS-62251).
