After retrieval of metadata Z creates a parent item as empty folder leaving the pdf file outside

Zotero 8.0.4 (original wrapper)
Zorin OS.

Here's what happens, since Zotero 8, when using "retrieve metadata" for a pdf already present in the library, a parent item (folder) is created. However, the folder is empty and the original pdf (or epub) remains in its prior place. It used to be that the pdf/epub was added to the parent item (folder).
This makes the work double, as I need to navigate up to the parent item to manually add the corresponding file. Adding at times 20-30 items at a time, you an imagine the amount of searching and scrolling involved, even on a large screen.

Thankful for any suggestions how to fix this.
