When I close a finder window, the finder menu disappears and then reappears along with the finder window. It looks like finder is crashing and restarting. This started happening after I downloaded a pdf and put it in a folder. Maybe there is a bug in the way finder is rendering the image of the pdf file at the top of the finder window?
How can I restore normal behavior of finder?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Hi..
Might be corrupted preferences.
Open the Finder. From the menu bar (top of your screen) click Go > Go to Folder
Type this: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go
Move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Thanks. I was unable to use the Go menu. I got an error message saying I didn't have permission. Instead I opened a Terminal window and cd'ed to ~/Library/Preferences/, then rm com.apple.finder.plist. After rebooting I was able to close the windows. Thx.
You're welcome 🙂
I can't close finder windows - finder reopens them
