All Playlist folders open when editing or adding

I keep having problems with Playlist folders and subfolders. Also on macOS 26. When I want to add a track or tracks to a certain playlist folder all of my playlist (sub)folders open automatically, which is a nuisance because I do have quite a lot of them. Anyone else having this issue?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 26.0

I do have exactly the same problem, it started with macOS 26. All Folders and Subfolders open suddenly after adding a Track or adding a new build Folder. Why? I have no clue.

Sometimes, not every time, after adding a track to a playlist or moving it among playlists) all folders and subfolders abruptly close (magically).

I couldn't figure out, which action or behavior triggers the Folders to close all together at once.

And, yes, this is very, very annoying, because I do have a lot of them, hundreds, to be precise (and i want to keep them all :-) )
