[QUOTE="remain, post: 401556, member: 23182"] I noticed that one a while ago. It was when I renamed a file to a name that was already taken by another file. In that case, that bug also occurs. Actually, the Finder has [B]tons[/B] of bugs. Here are a few that I've noticed: -In List View, open the context menu on anything. There is a Help item at the top of the menu. But it doesn't do anything. Ever. And it's ALWAYS there in List View. I'm guessing that it's a remnant of an older version of OS X. How could Apple not have noticed a mistake as big as this??? -Inside a empty folder (let's call it "Top Folder"), make a folder called "Sub Folder 1". Since it is the only item in "Top Folder", it should be at the top of the list. Inside "Sub Folder 1", make a folder called "Sub Folder 2". Since it is the only item in "Sub Folder 1", then it should also be at the top of the list. Now go to "Top Folder", and [B]triple-click[/B] "Sub Folder 1". You know where you'll end up? Inside "Sub Folder 2"! That's right, in List View, any [B]single click[/B] right after a double-click will act as a [B]double-click[/B]. So if you accidentally click 3 times, you'll open whenever is underneath! (And you can also try to put a "Sub Folder 3" then click 4 times quickly. Yes, you'll go straight from "Top Folder" to "Sub Folder 3"!) This bug has made me accidentally launch apps and open files. Really annoying. -On the Desktop (or any folder), make sure Auto Arrange is turned off, and Snap to Grid is turned [B]on[/B]. Take 3-4 files or folders, and place them in a horizontal line (or vertical, it doesn't really matter). Now select them all. Drag them upward or downward (or left or right) one or a couple of spots. You might have to do this a couple of times. And randomly, they're no longer in a line. One item will just suddenly decide to "get out" of the line. [/QUOTE]
