WinSCP is refreshing every minute

Hello,

I'm running version 6.5.4 Build 16408 2025-10-16.
Every minute, at 5 seconds past the minute, my WinSCP is hard-refreshing, as if I hit Ctrl+F5 on a web browser. It starts with the remote tree, then the remote directory, then the local tree, then the local directory. The refresh takes ~ 3 seconds and interrupts anything I'm doing at the time. Uploads and downloads pick up where they stopped, but navigation stops at the directory I was on and ignores any double clicks I do during the refresh, renaming files is interrupted, and scrolling is reset to the top of the directory. If I wait long enough for the connection to time out then the refreshing stops, but once I reconnect the refreshing begins again. The number of connections I have doesn't impact the refreshing.
