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 at the top 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 ALWAYS 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 else experience these? Is there a fix, or an option somewhere to turn these ridiculous features off? Never happened in 10.6.x or earlier. It's an older Mac Pro, other than these issues, I like it better than 10.9.x. And 10.10.x doesn't run well. Already tested both 10.9 and 10.10 when I installed on a test HDD in my computer. And 10.10 is the last OS X that can be installed on my system.
