Not exactly but i see what your getting at.

In XP when you expand a folder in the navigation pane and you don't have enough screen space to display the sub folders it jumps to the top.

In windows 7 that behavior is not consistent, sometimes it jumps the wrong direction. Closing the folder and expanding it again will get it to jump in the correct direction, but i can see how that would be annoying.

I can't see how that behavior would be "as intended" i would consider it a bug.

I've just upgraded to the RC build 7100, and the annoying behavior seems to be gone, at least on my machine. The file explorer now behaves as expected. I guess we can close this thread.

Thanks for all the comments.
