Inproper folder sync behavior

I noticed some time ago that flashfxp seems to invoke improper folder sync when the option is disabled but hadnt had time to play with it.

This seems to occur whenever performing a directory changing action and quickly using alt+tab to switch active programs. I found the following KB shortcut in help file "Alt+Double Click: Enable Synchronized Browsing and enter the clicked directory"

However in any of the following example the alt key is never depressed at the same time as a click or at the same time as another key (other than tab) is depressed, but im guessing the quick concession of click/key and alt+tab use is causing the strange behavior.

A few quick examples to deomstrate and reproduce.

Side L = site, Side R = local, log in to L, Navigate into a folder, hit backspace to go back up and quickly use alt+tab to switch programs.
Flashfxp incorrectly changes the directory on the local side up one level,

Side L = site, Side R = site, log in to L and R, Navigate into a folder on both sides, hit backspace to go back up on either side and quickly use alt+tab to switch programs.
Flashfxp incorrectly changes the directory on the other side up one level,

This example does the same thing when clicking instead of using the keyboard, and also when entering a folder that exists on both sides rather than just moving up a level.

Log as follows, you can see how it incorrectly changes up one level on R when it was only requested (by the user) on L

Re: Improper folder sync behavior

Forgot to mention this before, may or may not be related.

Sometimes when changing directory and quickly switching with alt+tab, flashfxp will fail to request a directory listing.

From memory log shows that the CDUP or CWD was issued and replied to correctly, however flashfxp failed to request a LIST (or whatever method is used), therefor the visual list has not changed (a quick refresh will fix it) and the related path bar does not change to reflect the new working path (refresh does not fix it).

Will provide more details/log/reproduction method when i can.
