[QUOTE="GeoFan49, post: 1552080, member: 314949"] Booted from the old boot drive (750 GB, 5400 RPM, external USB drive) and the Finder behaves normally, so this rules out any possibility that the new 8GB RAM could be a cause. Note, this 750GB drive created the Time Machine backup that was restored onto the new 1TB, 7200 RPM internal drive, so all the software should be equivalent. Rebooted normally from the new internal 1TB drive, repeated observing similar behavior as in. Post #9. Still, cannot rule out software... But for discussion, how could a new internal drive cause this kind of Finder misbehavior?
