@podfeet Hi. I love listview because I think it's much easier to deal with. As a Voiceover user, I've always used it. Can you explain where your waffles and pancakes folders appear? Do they go into some other folder? I always have trouble remembering if I have to be in a folder to paste a file into it, or whether I just have to be focused on it so that it ends up in the folder. Can you tell me if this behavior changes whether you are in listview or column view? And, if you turn on VoiceOver and interact with the vertical splitter, you can change it's thickness, I'm quite sure. Maybe that little tip will help with the bug you are experiencing.
@CreativeChris I struggled with how to explain that. the Finder window has a left sidebar, and then I’m adding a folder in the column to the right. But when I hit command-N to make a new folder, instead of the focus being on the newly created folder, that folder is scrolled to the left so it’s not visible, but the name is floating in space over the top of the left column while I’m typing in the title. It’s really bizarre. 1/2
@CreativeChris List view only shows one list of files/folder at a time. Column view lets you see the discending folder structure laid out left to right. Normally the vertical splitter can be moved to widen to see the full title of the files/folders, but the macOS 26 bug leaves a scroll bar covering the vertical splitter so you can;t move it. The vertical splitter should have a section at the bottom on which you can double-click to widen to exactly match the width of the longest name.
@CreativeChris If I understand the question correctly, you have to be inside a folder to paste into it. Having it focused alone is not sufficient.
@podfeet Great, thanks for the confirmation. And, thanks for the explanation of the bug you were experiencing.
@podfeet I'm starting to think no-one at Apple uses column view.
I'm a staunch List view user for as long as I can recall and I don't get any of this crazy. The only Finder issue I've had lately is sometimes the wrong icons and file types are shown, usually on a NAS volume.
