Project Subfolder Remains Hidden in Rider

I have a project with the following structure:

C:\DEVELOPMENT\CODINGAUTOMATION\CODINGAUTOMATION.METADATA
│   CodingAutomation.Metadata.csproj
│   README.md
│   
├───bin
...
├───obj
...
├───Reflection
│       ClassReflector.cs
│       
└───Roslyn
        ClassSyntaxTree.cs
        Example1-Program.cs

C:\DEVELOPMENT\CODINGAUTOMATION\CODINGAUTOMATION.METADATA
│   CodingAutomation.Metadata.csproj
│   README.md
│   
├───bin
...
├───obj
...
├───Reflection
│       ClassReflector.cs
│       
└───Roslyn
        ClassSyntaxTree.cs
        Example1-Program.cs

The

Roslyn

Roslyn

folder always remains hidden, except if I switch on Show All Files in Explorer, unlike the

Reflection

Reflection

folder which behaves normally.

The pics are Explorer with Show All Files switched off and then on.

I have tried deleting the

Roslyn

Roslyn

folder, saving the solution, and restarting Rider, but this folder remains hidden when other such project sub-folders, like

Reflection

Reflection

are all visible.

The

Roslyn

Roslyn

folder is always visible when I open the project in Visual Studio.

There is nothing untoward in the project file, like a

<Compile Remove

<Compile Remove

directive or anything:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>
        <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
        <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis" Version="4.13.0" />
      <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common" Version="4.13.0" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>
        <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
        <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis" Version="4.13.0" />
      <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common" Version="4.13.0" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

I have tried the Report a Bug command on the Help menu, but that just collected and submitted logs, without any opportunity for me to explain anything about the bug.

I have tried deleting the while folder as well as the file with no effect.

Check your .csproj if you exclude the folder in there

Otherwise Add existing item and pick the Roslyn folder

I've checked both those aspects, and neither works. The folder is steadfastly still hidden. The Rider team have triaged my issue without rejecting it, so I hope they see some merit in investigating.
