There will not ever be a "solution" to this.  It is not a bug.  It is
the defined behaviour of "ls".  The second paragraph of the
documentation for "ls" tells us this:

|| For non-option command-line arguments that are directories, by
|| default `ls' lists the contents of directories, not recursively,
|| and omitting files with names beginning with `.'.  For other
|| non-option arguments, by default `ls' lists just the file name.  If
|| no non-option argument is specified, `ls' operates on the current
|| directory, acting as if it had been invoked with a single argument
|| of `.'.

It's not a bug - please read the documentation!  You might find the -H
and -d options helpful.
