Finder tabs get stuck on desktop when dragging out

Hi,

i got the same problem with the tabs... but no solution at this time 😐

changing the wallpaper or sorting has no effect. Only reboot or standby has a effect

I have the same issue. It is definitely isolated to just my OS X user account, because creating a new user does not display the problem. I have tried booting off a clone and deleting all preference files, application support files, caches, and launchagents. I have also tried quitting any background apps and force quitting apps in activity monitor.

Certainly not a huge problem but definitely annoying. Seems like the easiest way right now to resolve this completely is to create a new OS X user and migrate over, but it doesn't bother me enough to go through that much hassle.

I am having the same issue also.

I have also verified that another profile does not have the same behavior.

I have had this issue with finder also. No problem with this if I created a new user.

Today I tried to delete the finder preference file on my user account. On my user account I had three files in the /Users/Username/Library/Preferences which I deleted. The com.apple.finder.plist and two com.apple.finder.plist.gibberish.

I deleted all thre, and a new com.apple.finder.plist popped up immediately. I deleted that as well, and noticed that a new file was not created at that point. The I rebooted and the com.apple.finder.plist was in place again. Finder was now working as expected. No icons on the dekstop.

Hi,

MBPro Retina, me too as well… 😐 … (and this is not the only one problem I have with the Mavericks Finder).

I fear that this is due to some "extra" application or prefs … but I have not idea which one.
I suspect this because me too, logging with another "clean" user account I have not this problem.

But neither quitting all extra applications or booting in Safe boot does not solve anything.
Annoying.

Unfortunately your suggestions did not solve in my case.
