Directory/subdirectory timestamps are updated on rename and on move (Ctrl-x, Ctrl-v) in Files App

Reported by mrtnbr...@gmail.com, Jun 12 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10452.99.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.203 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10452.99.0 (Official Build) stable-channel sentry

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In Files app, rename a directory with Ctrl-enter, OR:
2. move a directory with Ctrl-x then Ctrl-v
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
1. Directory name should change, but timestamp shouldn't
2. Directory should appear elsewhere, but timestamps of directory and all subdirectories shouldn't change, at least if the move was within the same partition

What went wrong?
In both 1. and 2. the timestamps are updated. Not only that, but the timestamps are recursively updated for all subdirectories (quite amazing for a simple rename.)

OTOH, when the directory is merely COPIED (Ctrl-c, then Ctrl-v), the timestamps are (properly) unchanged.

Did this work before? Yes Known to work in Dec 2017. Possibly still working later; not sure about when it went wrong

Flash Version: 29.0.0.171 

.zip file attached with 2 screenshots. First shows Files App with directory 'bug'. Second shows Files App and directory after renaming 'bug' to 'buglater'. Notice the timestamps.

Confirmed repro - although linux "mv foo bar" will update changestamp on bar so this may be WAI.

I don't get this behavior using Crosh (kernel 4.3.48, mv (GNU Coreutils) version 8.25). The last-modified timestamps in bar for mv foo bar are not changed.

The column in question is "Date Modified", which should update when a folder is moved or renamed. This behaviour is working as intended.
