Modern Search Results Breadcrumbs show Forms folder as location for all image files
Noticed something strange in SharePoint Online recently. When searching a Site or Organization, any/all image files in Search Results have an incorrect breadcrumb path that ends in a library's hidden Forms folder.
This happens in multiple tenants, multiple sites, for multiple users. To reproduce the problem:
1. Go to a SharePoint Online site. I've tested with Modern Team and Communication sites.
2. Use the Search bar at top middle of page. Search for a term or file extension that brings back jpg or png files in the results.
3. Inspect the search results page. Non-image file types correctly display their true Site > Library > Folder path, which links to that location. Image file types incorrectly display a path to their Site > Library > Forms which links to the library's Forms folder.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Hi mtbaker28,
I'm experiencing the same behavior in my tenant as well. The breadcrumb is incorrect (Forms). The link to the file is correct.
Did you open a support request?
I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply Norman. I did open a request, and the support team found the same behavior so said it was working as designed. (?!) They suggested I create a User Voice request to change the behavior so that is in progress
