Bug report

Describe the bug

Having no favourites set leads to the new Favourites-window having a functionless ".."-dummy-entry (since Kodi 20)

Side note:
This happens with both "Show parent folder items" disabled and enabled.
So the entry is most likely not a broken "parent folder item" but some sort of dummy entry which becomes visible if the user has no favourites set.

Expected Behavior

Having no favourites set should lead to an fully empty Favourites-window

Actual Behavior

Possible Fix

Confirmed.

This is a technical limitation of the new Favourites GUI implementation which is based on a CMediaWindow which to my knowledge cannot be empty. Just for the records, not saying this needs no fix.
