Obsidian 1.11.1 Move current file to another folder does not list vault root

Steps to reproduce

  1. View a file in a folder.
  2. Open Command Palette3
  3. Run “Move current file to another folder”
  4. Notice that the root folder / is no longer listed

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Y

Expected result

See / listed among the folders so I can move a file to the root of the vault (like before).

Actual result

Do not see / listed among the folders, so I have to click and drag in the file explorer. I have thousands of files and several layers of folders, any of which could be open in the explorer.
