Hovering Mouse on Folder Moves the Folder

Help & Support
1

When I hover over the name of a folder, and the lister is sorted on size, the folder jumps to a new position. It appears that this is in response to the size being calculated as I am hovering, and the list being sorted dynamically once the size is available. This is very disconcerting.

I am not sure if this is what is intended, and I can see an argument for it, but I'm not sure it's what most people want.

I changed to default list to sort by name, so it's not an issue for me any more, but I wonder if other people might prefer it to behave differently.

Great product, by the way.

You can remove the folder size information from the info-tip (Settings > File Types > All Folders > Info Tip) to stop hovering over it from calculating its size.

If the size is calculated and you're sorting everything by size, then the folder will be sorted by size.

There's also an option to keep folders sorted alphabetically even when sorting by other things, which you might want to use if you only want to sort files by size.
