NeoMutt Version

NeoMutt 20251211-dirty
System: Linux 6.18.1-arch1-2 (x86_64)
ncurses: ncurses 6.5.20240427 (compiled with 6.5.20240427)

This appears to be a regression from NeoMutt 20250905-dirty, where this problem does NOT occur.

(Note: both of these NeoMutt versions are installed from the official Arch Linux packages).

Expected Behaviour

I'm trying to save emails from my inbox to a Maildir directory (structured with cur/, new/ and tmp/ subdirectories).

On NeoMutt 20250905-dirty, I could:

1. Highlight an email in my inbox
2. Hit 's', and type '~/directory' to locate a directory in my filesystem. I then hit twice because I'm unsure which subdirectory I want to put it in, and it pops up a directory listing.
3. I then highlight the next level of subdirectory, hit <Return>, then the next, then <Return> and so on, until I find the directory I want to put it in. NeoMutt automatically detects that that final subdirectory contains cur/new/tmp, and returns me to the inbox view, prompting "Append messages to /home/me/directory/subdirectory/anothersubdirectory/emails? ([yes]/no/?):
4. I hit <Return> and the email is saved to that 'emails' subdirectory.

Actual Behaviour

The above behavior works as described in NeoMutt 20250905-dirty. In NeoMutt
NeoMutt 20251211-dirty, when I hit <Return> the first time in step (3), NeoMutt immediately returns to the inbox and offers to save the file, creating the cur/new/tmp dirs automatically if they are missing.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it is not helpful, for me at least, because it no longer gives a way to navigate down a (possibly) unknown directory tree to find the relevant Maildir. Instead I have to know the path and type it in in full.

Steps to Reproduce

As above.

How often does this happen?

Always.

When did it start to happen?

NeoVim 20251211-dirty
Exactly the same config in both cases.

Extra Info

Arch Linux
Running in kitty terminal, no tmux/screen
Inbox is a local maildir. Trying to save email in another local maildir
