Incorrect display after moving a file from split

After moving a file from one directory to another, I regularly see visual bugs.
It's not a big issue, but it is confusing.
1. Files are shown twice instead of once
2. Directories and files from the other side (split) are shown in the list

It's not a big issue (pressing F5 fixes it).

What?! I have never seen anything like this. Can you give steps to reproduce it?

It's only a visual bug, so it's not a big issue. F5 on both sides fixes the problem.
1. Split the tab
2. Cut a file from one side
3. Paste the file to the other side
4. Display is a mess
Example 1
After pasting, both sides are completely wrong.
1. At 0:04, the left side contains every file twice
2. At 0:05, the right side is missing all its entries (only 1 directory is shown)

Example 2
After pasting, both sides are completely wrong
1. At 0:06, the right side contains every file twice
2. At 0:10, the left side also becomes all messed up

Cannot reproduce, but a lot of relevant information is missing. Can you give steps for a fresh instance?

I don't know what a 'fresh instance' is.
I regularly move files, and it happens about one in ten times or so.
You see what I do. There are no 'magic' steps. I literally showed in the video that I move a file, and then sometimes the display goes haywire.
Maybe it has to do with these two custom columns I always use:

Ah, that's what I thought. Relevant things are happening in the background. You use scripted columns that run a deep process for each listed folder. You also use background copy threads.
A first question would be: Why are you scripting folder sizes when you could just turn them on from the GUI?

Because the default one doesn't work (at least, they didn't used to when I looked at it years ago).
Are you saying I can get the split columns by other means?
I want to keep the file and directory count separate because I want to be able to sort on them.
Please tell me how I can set it up 'natively'. Currently, the calculations are quite slow. So, if a 'native' way is faster with the same result, that would be great!
Also, the calculations of the scripts are not done in the background, so I always have to wait for them. If they couldn't run in the background and just show me the result when ready, it would be MUCH faster.

1) What kind of sorting are you looking for that cannot be achieved with a single Size column?
2) With the Size column you can use folder size caching.

Which column do I need to use to count the amount of directories and files in a directory?
I tried the 'File count' column, but it doesn't do anything:

File count is some shell property, I would have to google it to find out what it's supposed to do.
So you're after the file count. Okay, in that case you have to use Custom Columns indeed.
