I'm running 10.8.5. Since upgrading to 10.8.5 from 10.6.x, my system has been doing two VERY annoying things.
1. Within a window, if I have a file selected (highlighted), say at the bottom of the window. Then I scroll all the way to the top (not selecting any other file), and the selected file is off screen (can't see it). I would then copy a file from another window to the first window (the file being copied starts with "A" so it should show up where I scrolled to in the first window), once it's finished copying over, the window will automatically scroll down to the file I had selected earlier. Without fail. This actually happens with any other activity being done on my system. Window ALWAY scroll to the highlighted file where ever you are in the window. This has never happened with 10.6.x or earlier OS X.
2. This one seems to happen randomly. Whenever I select a file to change it's name (doing a single click on the name bar), instead of the file I hit being editable, 10.8.5 would select a random file down the list instead. Making THAT file editable.
Anyone experience these? Is there a fix, or an option somewhere to turn this ridiculous features off?
I really don't know what Apple is doing these days. But it certainly is no longer the user friendly and reliable system I've used for over 20 years. It's all about glitz and glam, no real functionality for old school power users. Instead of being a unique system like it used to be, it's now just a glorified version of PC. Just costs a lot more.
