Extracting single folder with "open output folder" checked should open inside folder (or at least highlight it)

Thanks for developing this usability improvement over 7-Zip.

Steps:
1. Open an archive in 7Z.
2. Select one folder (or some other files/folders).
3. Click toolbar "Extract". Check "open output folder" and click OK.

Alternatively:
1. In Explorer, right-click an archive and click Extract Here, or Extract to [name-without-extension].

Edge case:
1. Open 7Z to folder containing archive. Highlight it and click Extract.
2. 7Z will forcibly create a new folder, unless you edit the dialog's address bar.
3. Windows Explorer opens whatever's in address bar, without highlighting.

Expected:
If one folder is created, new Explorer window should open inside folder (or at least highlight the newly extracted folder.)
Otherwise, new Explorer window should highlight all new files.

Actual:
Opens the surrounding folder containing extracted things, without highlighting extracted folder/things.

Not affected by this bug:
1. Select an archive within 7-Zip, containing one folder.
2. Extract with [ ] [_output name____] unchecked.
3. Archive contains 1 folder in its root directory. Windows Explorer opens it.

Open archive in 7Z.
Drag any set of files/folders to an Explorer window
The new files are selected. If 1 folder was created, pressing Enter will open the result.

If you have trouble replicating, maybe it's because I have Quizo's QTTabBar.
