Thunar prompting for 'overwrite' rather than merging folders

After updating the system a day or two ago, Thunar produces a 'overwrite' prompt whenever I copy a folder into a directory containing a folder with the same name.

Expected behavior: the folders are automatically merged and the contents of the new folder are moved into the preexisting folder. Strangely enough, this is still what actually happens despite the prompt; no actual overwrites take place.

Folder sizes are also messed up. The 'Testing' folders above have files in them, but the size calculation is ignoring them.

Also, Thunar lets you incrementally search for filenames when you start typing into a window, but that stopped working at the same time as the problem above. It jumps to the first folder beginning with the typed letter instead. But I don't know if the problems are related.

Mod Edit - Replaced oversized image with links.
CoC - Pasting pictures and code

Re: Thunar prompting for 'overwrite' rather than merging folders

With respect to the last item, there was some recent breakage with that functionality and an upstream bug report exists for the issue.

With respect to the other thunar issues, I can verify that they are happening on my system as well. There have also been some recent thunar changes. Probably best to file an upstream bug report for those.
