Adding item to favourites is not showing in favourites

[JWaters02]

Describe the bug

On v3.1.0, when my colleague added a member to favourites and then opening the favourites folder, it is empty. I cannot replicate their issue.

Here are their logs:

The user solved their issue by right clicking on the zosmf folder under favourites and clicked 'remove profile from favourites', then was able to add the dataset to favourites.

Not sure if this is a bug or UX issue or just problem between keyboard and chair.
