Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Nemo on Debian 13 by expanding a directory without subdirectories, then trace the sidebar directory-tree handling that displays "(Empty)". Done means leaf directories cannot be unfolded and the misleading "(Empty)" entry no longer appears.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Distribution

Bug description
Hello,
I like Nemo because of the way it handles and presents elements in the sidebar. This is much smoother than in other file managers.
I discovered an unusual behavior. Not really a crashing bug.
If I unfold a directory which itself does not have any sub-folders I see "(Empty)" in the dir-tree.
Steps to reproduce
Unfold directory without sub-dirs.
Expected behavior
It shouldn't be possible to unfold directors without having children (sub-dirs).
Additional information
Let me know if I can add some more information.
Best,
Christian
