Entering Time Machine does not stick to the current folder.

Originator:andy1369

Status:Open Resolved:Not yet
Product:OS X Product Version:10.11
Classification: Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary:
When entering Time Machine from any other folder other than the default (home) folder, the folder changes abruptly to the home folder, without any smooth animation.

See video to understand better.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any other folder on your computer, other than the main (~) home folder.
2. Enter Time Machine.
3. See what happens.

Expected Results:
The current folder I am in and entering TM from to persist and stay.

Actual Results:
The folder abruptly changes to the (~) folder.

Version:
10.11.0 (build 15A284)

Notes:
This happened with Mavericks (10.9.0 - 10.9.5) in 2013 - I reported this; you can see an active report under my username. This was not fixed in Mavericks - BUT Yosemite (10.10.0 - 10.10.5) fixed this, and it worked perfectly. Now, the problem is back.

Configuration:
13" i7 2.8gHz, 10GB of RAM, 750gb Momentus XT 7200RPM HD (customized)

Update:

I updated to 10.11.1 (15B42), and the issue still persists. See updated video, this is running 10.11.1. Sometimes, after exiting the Time Machine UI, Finder 'freezes' with a spinning beachball. The duration of this depends; it was brief in this video, as you can see, but took a minute to unfreeze another time.

See attached, updated video.
