Stopping folder navigation pane auto scrolling down

This is a very stupid bug! Microsoft has done it again!!!!...
People has been complaining this since beta release... that is about a year ago, then RTM, then final release... but it still there!!! bravo!

Just for notes, this is doesnt have anything to do with auto expand "feature"

some other people complaining:

Strange folder behavior in left pane of Windows Explorer

Is there a way to disable Explorer automatic row scrolling in List view?

Folder list scrolls up when I expand a folder

Is there any other good file explorer alternative out there?

oh crap...theres still no fix for this?
It's drivin' me batty! (ok, short trip, I know)

Is it really strange to see how a single person can beat up a big software giant full of supposed to be genius persons like microsoft? Maybe not...

Since I've upgrade to windows 7, somehow, I got lazy to clean-up my folders because of this stupid bugs.
Deleting and browsing things in my hard drive just become somewhat more difficult.

After much research and looking around,
I'm recommending XYplorer to replace that crappy explorer that comes with windows 7.

Is it so hard for them to make a simple software that works? something like XYplorer?
to make things that doesn't jump around randomly anytime you click something.
move your focus to the next folder after you delete something (not to the root folder).

no solution, this autoscroll feature is very very annoying

This is driving me insane!

This works..

Untick the bottom box. Been annoying me for years.

had the same problem. frustrated me to no end as none of the solutions suggested worked. nor did a complete reload of windows. turned out to be my wireless mouse. somehow it was sending signals to pc without me pushing any buttons. As soon as I turned it off the problem immediately went away. took it apart , cleaned it, problem SOLVED! no more uncontrolled scrolling, and mouse clicks on apps menus worked again too! hope this helps.

neilw20 - your link just redirects to reply #5 which is not a solution to this issue.
"maybe you don't have 'automatically expand to current folder' box ticked."

M$ has not released any fixes/patches for this apparent bug. 'entry' below can mean a drive or a folder.
The only way to avoid this behavior is to first select the expand button for the left Navigation Pane entry before selecting the actual entry name or having both the 'Automatically expand to current folder' and the 'Open each folder in the same window' boxes ticked and selecting the Navigation Pane entry and then double-clicking the entry from the right Details Pane.
