Sorry for being such a PITA but I have to dust off that old unsolved problem.
But I think I have good news: proceeding as follows the problem is deterministic.

Lets start with a situation like that:

Pane A Pane B
(omissis) | (omissis)
---------------------- | ----------------------
some files at .\output | (nothing)
---------------------- | ----------------------
(nothing) | Empty dir .\output\list
---------------------- | ----------------------
some files at .\output\list | (nothing)
---------------------- | ----------------------
(omissis) | (omissis)

N.B. the items "some files at .\output" represent *all* the files in the .\output dir.
Similarly, the items "some files at .\output\list" represent *all* the files in the .\output\list dir.

Delete all the files at \output. The result is as follows (ok):

Pane A Pane B
(omissis) | (omissis)
---------------------- | ----------------------
(nothing) | Empty dir .\output\list
---------------------- | ----------------------
some files at .\output\list | (nothing)
---------------------- | ----------------------
(omissis) | (omissis)

Now delete all the files at \output\list.
The result is as follows:

Pane A Pane B
(omissis) | (omissis)
---------------------- | ----------------------
(nothing) | Empty dir .\output\list
---------------------- | ----------------------
Empty dir .\output\list | Empty dir .\output\list
---------------------- | ----------------------
(omissis) | (omissis)

As I wrote, this seems fairly repetitive!

Then there is the problem of the disappearing empty directory, but at the moment I haven't a "recipe".
I hope you can solve both problems at once.

N.B. The directories are sorted by relative path in ascending order in pane A and combined with pane B.
Of course, if you need my full options let me know.

Thanks, we'll take a look at this.

This problem has already been fixed in the upcoming version 5.5.

Very good news indeed!
Well, it was nothing so terrible, I cuold live with it, but anyway I'm glad you solved it.

As always: thank you.
