Is there a reason for that?

Total Commander currently just looks for ,cm_ and ,em_ after a cd command, because there is no need to directly chain cd commands.
Just use cd "d:\test\" instead.

The help says:
[Help - Dialog box: Configuration - Change button bar] wrote:
You can also place one or more of Total Commander's internal menu commands here comma-separated. Just click on the button with the magnifying glass and choose a command from the dialog box "Choose command".
Can be combined with cd command (change directory) with the path in double quotes.
There is no reason for users to think that chaining cd commands doesn't work, so this can be very confusing.
I suggest to support it.

Sorry, but what a strange idea to chain CD commands.
Even simple-minded users should not have such an idea

Its usefulness is not limited by the scope of your imagination, but by the imagination and preference of all people under all circumstances, now and in the future. To give just one example: people may find it clearer in some circumstances to separate base folder and subfolder, and there's no reason to think it wouldn't work.

Actually,
there is a need:
cd "\\\Startup Guard",cd "\\\Startup Guard\Overall"
cm_wait 0 delays the time between them, which is why I observe opening the first directory, which is not present when executing
em_StartupGuard,cd "\\\Startup Guard\Overall".

Why not jump directly to \\\Startup Guard\Overall ?
