Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Manjaro 22.1.2 with XFCE and Thunar while npm creates files under node_modules/, then compare the directory view before and after Ctrl+R. No repository files, tests, or implementation entry point are identified in the issue; done would require establishing a specific cause and a concrete resolution rather than switching file managers without further investigation.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The default file manager that comes with Manjaro 22.1.2 with XFCE is Thunar.
It doesn't always update when new directories/files are added while you're staring at it. Requires a manual View -> Reload (Ctrl + R) to show the up to date state of things.
Noticed while playing around with npm and installing things for a Node.js project staring at the node_modules/ directory.
Solution
TBD
Possibility: Maybe switch to another file manager
