Inaccessible network drives

Using beta version 5.60.0004.

When I type the UNC path of a network drive/share that is inaccessible in the address bar and hit enter, it defaults the view to the Desktop folder for me.

Should this not return an error or message, and display either the previous folder, or a blank file list?

Cheers,

D

Correct. I changed it to show a message "This drive or server is currently inaccessible." and stay at the current location.

This on-any-problem-go-to-desktop is old Win95 behavior that I had mimicked here. :)
