Back after find error

Hi Everyone!

Ive been working on a problem for a few years now.. figuring each new OS would solve the problem, but it hasnt.. so maybe its something im doing wrong.

When I browse the Xserve (currently OS 10.8) from my Mac (currently OS 10.6.8). and I search for a file.. if I then click the 'back' button I get directed to the root of the drive not the previous folder I was in. It is pretty annoying if I need to keep navigating back to a folder after doing a search.

I believe this may be a sympton of a bigger problem, so although it seems small i'd like to rule it out.

When I click the back button and get directed to the root, it also shows the drive TWICE. see the pic attached - it shows the 'Admin' drive twice!. My feeling is that this is something to do with users being kicked off the server then it reconnecting. but all suggestions are welcome.

for info: we have around 20 macs running 10.4 thru 10.8 and the server is 10.8. exactly the same thing happened on 10.4.

Many Thanks!
Daz

 

it seems to happen only when in column view. ...very strange.
