Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pcmanfm

pcmanfm displays incorrect folder sizes in detailed list view.  most
directories are shown as being 4.0 KB.  this may be technically correct,
if considering that in linux filesystems everything, including a
directory, is a file.  however, the end user is expecting to see the
size of the directory _and its contents_, as is shown when pcmanfm
displays the _properties_ for a directory (->total size of files<-; size
on disk).  this behavior has been the same for every version of pcmanfm
I have ever used.
