"Open Folder" in Folder Portals opens a file instead of the folder if both have the same name

I have a folder portal named "These" and inside it is a file named "These.doc" ; when I click on "open folder" or double-click the window, it opens the Word file instead of the folder.

The problem is still here in the latest beta.

Can you contact support? I'm not seeing what you are seeing and would like more data.

If you can provide a video that would be great!

Did you actually try to name a folder exactly the same as one of the files it contains (without the three letter extension of course) ? Then click on "open folder" and you'll see, Fences opens the file, not the folder ! I am almost sure that this bug was not present in Fences 2...

Using 3.0.4.12

Create new folder on desktop
Name it test
Right click on folder
Select "Show this folder on the desktop"
Observe a portal fence created called test
Right click on test fence
Select New -> Text Document
Observe a new file is created in the portal
Name it test
Observe file is named test.txt
Left click on Fence titlebar
Select Open Folder
Observe there is a prompt telling you how to do this better/faster
Observe Explorer open to appropriate directory

That is what I am doing/seeing.
