Scroll in Brief view
When pane is in Brief view (Ctrl+F1) I find the behaviour in TC inconsistent to windows behaviour.
In explorer, when you click on a folder or file that is not fully shown in the rightmost column, the folder is highlighted but the window is not scrolled to the left. When you use right arrow key to move to the same folder or file the window is scrolled.
In TC, the window is allways scrolled, no matter if you use arrow key or mouse. The problem occurs when you try to double-click on a partly shown folder (or file). It is then scrolled to the left, and you miss the folder when clicking. You then have to move the mouse to the left to hit the right folder.
I have used TC for many years, and I have allways found this beaviour annoying, but I have thought that it should be corrected in the next release, but it never does. Am I missing something that all you other guys know of?
I have tried to find a topic about this without any luck, so I guess everyone else copes with it.

Support++!
This should be fixed or at least become configurable, as this behavior disturbs me too.

Don't know about "most", but I use it for about 90% of time...

Unfortunately this is a bug of the Windows XP listbox control. Totalcmd sets the flag "do not scroll if partially visible", but Windows XP just ignores it and scrolls always. Explorer uses a Listview instead of a Listbox, which doesn't seem to have this bug, but which is much slower.In explorer, when you click on a folder or file that is not fully shown in the rightmost column, the folder is highlighted but the window is not scrolled to the left. When you use right arrow key to move to the same folder or file the window is scrolled.
In TC, the window is allways scrolled,

You can forget that, there is no one who would listen (except when paying some $10000 per year for a company support contract).Do you report to MS any bugs you encounter while working on TC?
