Code Folding Problems - More info... [message #1817471]

I hope this is something I am doing wrong.
I am so totally at the end of my rope with this code folding problem.

I believe that I am using the default CDT editor.

PROBLEM: The folds are constantly opening by themselves.

Editing the line of a folded section makes them open by themselves.
Pressing return on a line that is folded makes them open by themselves.
Pressing return on the line above can make folds open by themselves.
Pressing return on any line can make folds below that point open by themselves.
The cross symbols indicating the fold is closed displays sometimes when it is not.
The dash symbol indicating the fold is open displays sometimes when it is not.
Sometimes the symbol is missing entirely.
Sometimes the code is folded and there is no symbol to open it and i cant get to my
code at all! Even a restart does not fix it.
The symbol spams the code preview every time and covers the code i want to close.

I spend an absolutely unacceptable amount of time trying to manipulate the folding.

This is the solution I would like to see:

1.) No fold ever opens unless I click the cross button.
2.) No fold ever closes unless I click the dash button.
3.) Hovering on the button never spams the folded code preview.
4.) Pressing ENTER on the line with the cross does NOT open the fold.
5.) Pressing ENTER on the line above the cross does NOT open the fold.
5.) Pressing ENTER on the line below the cross does NOT open the fold.
6.) Editing the line with the cross does NOT open the fold.

And another thing. The symbol at the end of the folded line is what actually
is supposed to be the code preview. This does not do anything at all when I
hover over it. ( It looks like a outlined space char with two dots at the bottom. )

Thanks, hope you can help me out.

I also notice this behaviour when I cut and paste code in.
This feels like a line counting issue.
Also , the folds that are opening always seem to be below where I am editing.

I am running Ubuntu Linux 19.10
