Description

:page_facing_up: Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to the "Bookmarks" section
  2. Create a new folder.
  3. Repeat step 2 to create a new folder within the previously created folder, incrementing the folder name at each level (e.g., "Folder 2" inside "Folder 1", "Folder 3" inside "Folder 2", etc.), until reaching a depth of more than 10 levels.
  4. Initiate the creation of a new folder and, in the Location section, observe the folder structure displayed.

Expected behavior The user can scroll and select the deepest level folder as the parent location for the new folder.

Actual behavior The folder structure with a depth of 9+ levels is not visible

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the folder picker UI component to identify why folder depths beyond 9 levels are not displayed. Check for layout constraints, scroll view behavior, or data source limitations.
