Here, it happens on all listers that have been 'save layout'ed.
The figure of eight doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.
(non WBR mode, _*NO*_ 'hotlist.module')

After Dopus starts, I use this button to purge the affected listers.
It works as long as there aren't two listers showing the same directory.
It is:
Command Parent
Command FreeCaches
AmigaDOS cd {s}
Command ScanDir
It seems that no Flags need to be set..(at least on my setup.)
Hope this helps,
