As the developer of FolderGlance, I often get support mails regarding strange Finder behaviour. Sometimes, the root cause turns out to be FolderGlance, while other times something else or the Finder itself is to blame. The latter was the case for a bug I discovered in the Finder yesterday, which I've now reported to Apple (rdar://5657501). The bug manifests itself when you try to rename a file in the Finder's list view. Here are the steps required to reproduce the issue:
The expected behaviour here is of course to have the characters from the filename selected, but instead what actually happens is that the sub-folder you try to rename the file in collapses, forcing you to start over. Comments by Disqus
