WIN7 Windows Explorer double click bug

Submitted by AkeB0N0 on November 12, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug

This problem raised only when we double click a folder has many sub-folders in the left navigation panel, the selected directory always goes to bottom in the left navigation panel. Default behavior, the selected directory should go top, no bottom as in Vista and other win OS's.

Sample Interaction ( please don't use left arrow to expand directories ) :

- Double click C:\Windows directory
- Find system32 directory in left navigation panel
- Double click to system32 directory

The system32 directory now should be bottom of the left navigation panel.

You will find the screen recording following url.

This is so annoying. Makes me want to find another filemanager...

I find that this sometimes randomly happens even when I just single click the + icon. Weird :s

I don't understand why it would automatically scroll like this. If you've navigated to a folder, about 70% of the time you're going to want to open a child folder next.

It'd be great if it could be like: click the +, don't scroll at all. Double click, scroll up to make sure all child folders fit.

Also, I do use a different file manger, but this quirk still applies to the open and save dialogs.
