Same here! I do not see a setting anywhere to correct this. This is ever since upgrading to SL (this was a brand new Mac Pro with Leopard, out of the box I immediately updated the OS and then did the SL upgrade, no migration or old bs)
In list view, if you have an item selected and you scroll out of view of it and stop, the view will snap back to the highlighted item. Very annoying!
Also, certain directories that were previously viewed in coverflow reopen in finder with most of the window being taken up by the coverflow view, not to what you may have sized it to before.
I tried trashing the Finder plist file and that did not help anything.
def still at it after the 10.6.2 update, what's so hard to fix? There must be a setting somewhere to stop this sillyness. Deja vu again and again and again, stop!
What all of you are describing is not normal behavior. I don't see the same thing on my SL system. I strongly suspect you've all got something wrong with your systems. Does it happen if you create a new account on your machine and try scrolling there? How are you scrolling? What kind of selections are involved? (Single files, multiple files, files from different folders, etc.?)
Are you running Snow Leopard (10.6) because your profile indicates 10.4? Behavior wasn't like that in 10.4, either, but it does change the troubleshooting a little.
just go to list view, select an item and scroll down(Usually on a folder with a long list of items) and it'll snap back to the selected item when you scroll down partial way. Happens to any folder I'm in, once an item is selected.
Just tried a new account and it didn't happen at all. Meh Might have been a tinker tool setting that was checked. Was usually single file, not multiple. Thanks!
