Annoying explorer behavior

DJG said:

You need to look closer. Anytime you expand a folder in the navigation (left) pane, XP makes that folder the topmost folder of the navigation pane, and you can see all the subfolders beneath it. In Win 7, often the expanded folder is placed at the bottom of the pane, making you have to scroll so you can see the subfolders. A total PITP.

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.
