Does anyone know how to stop Finder's horizontal scroll bar getting in the way when you scroll down and try to select the last item in list view? The only workaround I can find is to wait for the scroll bar to disappear - which is a pain in a**e. (The vertical scroll bar isn't much better, Apple, if you're listening.)

I find that unless the page is atypical if you make the window wide enough the horizontal bar disappears from the window. Is this not the case for your system?
That would be a very obvious solution if I had the standard window layout but I prefer to have additional columns visible.
I have this issue, too. As far as I can tell there's nothing to be done about it. Either wait for it to disappear or click the item above and arrow key down to it.
I have this problem too. It seems just lazy programming by apple. I hope they fix it in a future patch.
In the mean time the best solution I've found is to just set the scroll bar to always being visible. Then the last file is no longer blocked as it was in prior versions of OSX.
To do this go to: Settings > General under Personal > Show scroll bars: always
Apple, please fix this. At least make it so that the delay on the dissapearing scroll bar can be customized or at least instantaneous!
Also have this problem and very annoying then your trying to navigate quickly around files with multiple finders open. Have now made the scrollers always visable, but would like them gone as I like the minimal layout! Please fix apple!
In general, I love the disappearing scroll bars. They save on valuable screen real estate. Also, there needs to be some delay time before they disappear - otherwise you couldn't click and drag the bar or click in the scrollbar to jump.
However, in the finder, the fact that the you can't click on the bottom item until the horizontal scroll bar disappears is a serious pain. As far as I can think of, there aren't any other contexts where clickable content regularly goes all the bottom of the window. I'd really like some kind of a fix for this.
