If you navigate forward by at least 2 folders via the path bar, the folder you "skipped over" will be forgotten in the back/forward history
Steps to reproduce
upgrade Nemo to version 6.2.8
start Nemo from a high-level location, such as / (aka the OS root)
navigate to /etc (doesn't have to be that folder, but it's easy for me to remember its name)
navigate to /etc/X11 (again, doesn't have to be that specific folder)
navigate to /etc/X11/fonts
go back by two folders, back to /etc
in the path bar, click on the "fonts" button
click the back button once; notice how you've ended up back at /etc
click the forward button once; notice how you've ended up back at /etc/X11/fonts
Expected behavior
The result of step 7 or step 8 should take you to /etc/X11

Curiously, Caja 1.26.3 in Ubuntu-Mate 24.10 has the exact same issue (I want to report the issue on the Caja github issue tracker, but they require you to first open an issue ticket with your distro - but how does that requirement make sense if the issue is the fault of Caja, not the distro?):
Your home directory is located at /home/username/
Your system has a /home/ directory to hold different users as separate sub-directories
These two references to "home" are two different things.

That is not what I intended to describe with this issue. Please note what is occurring at the 2:10 mark in the video: clicking the back/forward buttons is causing Nemo to navigate straight from /home to /home/ubuntu-cinnamon/Documents and vice-versa.
I didn't realize that the Mint 22(.0) live ISO actually includes a more recent version of Nemo despite being a few months older than Ubuntu 24.10.
Therefore I've redone my testing using that as the baseline, including recording a new video that should demonstrate the issue much more clearly.
