Drag & drop with multiple folders, some of which are compact folders, always moves the leaf folders of the compact folders

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.57.0-insider fe1eafc
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19043

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create a folder structure as below
2. open/close folders, such that projects shows sub1, sub2\subA, sub3
3. select sub1 till sub3 and drag & drop them into `new-projects

Folder structure:

• new-projects
• projects
  • sub1
    • foo.txt
  • sub2
    • subA
      • bar.txt
  • sub3
    • baz.txt

Expected: the whole subtree of projects is moved into new-projects (note that this is the behavior when doing Cut/Paste instead of using drag & drop)
Actual: instead of moving sub2, its subdirectory subA is moved

So you would like the drag and drop of a compact folder to drag the upmost parent..

Imho this is a bug, not a feature request, because when I want to move everything in projects into new-projects using DnD, the intuitive course of action (click first folder, Shift+click last folder, do DnD) has an unintuitive outcome. The presence of a compact folder is an accidental detail that shouldn't influence what's moved (even more so because I didn't explicitly select neither sub2 nor subA).

In fact, there's no way to do what I want with DnD at all because, as the demo below shows, even if I use Ctrl+click to explicitly select foo, DnD still attempts to move bar. So DnD doesn't honor the folders that were selected by the user & just copies the leaf folder no matter what.

@isidorn please consider classifying this as a bug. Imho the mere fact that DnD is inconsistent with cut/paste is sufficient argumentation to do so
