Finder windows don't refresh unless you go back and then return to the folder, and even that does not refresh the total amount of disk space available...:( Any way this could be fixed with a simple solution? :)

Recently I upgraded to OS X Mojave, and have been enjoying the joys of Dark Mode across my folders in Finder...for the most part. Currently the background of my folders is set to the default colour, because it's easy on the eyes. But as soon as I search for something, the background of the...
