vim: netrw: 2 issue about list style

hi Dr.chip/folks:
It looks I run into an issue about netrw.

*** the issue1: g:netrw_liststyle= 4 doesn't work

the manual says:
"use the tree style as default listing style.
let g:netrw_liststyle= 4

but It doesn't work for me, when I tried this:
vim ftp://ping@127.0.0.1//

I still got:

*** the issue2: switching to list style also changed the folder

say I'm now in root, with thin list as default (see issue 1 above):
