Ok, so I'm sure most of you know about cmd-w to close a finder window. I was doing some things, and at times I found that the option did not work. For example: I opened a foler, we'll call it test, and then copy dragged another foler, Tested, into that folder. I then clicked onto the desktop to bring the finder to the front. I then did cmd-w, which should do noting at this point, casue I'm on the finder, not a specific finder folder...that folder is grayed out (this was an accident, cause I didn't really ever want the folder grayed out, I just wanted to close it out). When I click back onto the folder to cmd-w it...it doesn't work. This is the only time I've found it not to work...I think..but it's weird. I can do it consistatnly. If I close the window manually, then reopen it, and cmd-w it, it closes fine.
Has anyone else found this?....does this bug you? It bugs me, there shouldn't be little mess ups like this within this os.....
I'll get over it..but it's just strange...because before I realized it only did it in some occasions, I though there was something more wrong, for I couldn't use the cmd I'm so accustumed to now.
---UPDATE---
Right after writing this post, I played with it again. I found that if I just open a finder window, cmd n, and then click outside the folder, do cmd-w outside the folder, click back into the foler and cmd-w, it doens't work. I then manually shut closed the folder, did cmd-n agian, then did cmd-w, and it still did not work...I tried this several times. Then I opened up a random folder on my desktop, cme-w it, and then reopened a new finder window, and it worked.
I've also found that if you have no floders or windows open, and just cmd-w, then open up a finder window, the same thing happens. This might be a time to fix permissions....hmmm....so weird.
