Well, you could resize the window so that everything is in 1 column. Or you could just use "Details" view instead of "List" view, since Details will just have 1 vertical column and won't overlap like that. Other than that, I don't know.

Yeah Doesn't sound like much of a problem, i was expecting an error or bug.
or you could just add more music so theres no empty space there and you have more songs to choose from.

Try clicking the white square in the top right of the folder. Its beside the white X in the red box and the white dash in the blue box.

so you're ditching windows 7 cause you can't have the window completely customized to your need of staying small and selecting something in a manner that it DOESNT reveal the whole name to you? i dunno man...sounds...silly.

Change folder type from "List" to "Details"?

[image loading]

Which will make your folder appear like this:

If you want to remove columns just right click on the column headers ("Name", "Type", etc) and remove the columns you do not want...

Which should end up looking similar to this:

Which is what you want if I read your post correctly.

Random idea, but since its windows 7, try dragging the folder to the left and right side (and top as well). (if you didn't already know, it makes the window half the size of the screen. Dragged to the top makes it fullscreen) Idk, this might fix it but its just a random thought haha.

There are Windows Explorer alternatives (i.e. substitute programs) you can use for your GUI file manager needs, but I have no idea what the popular or good ones are. Of course there's no guarantee their behavior will be any different.

Actually, I just checked Nautilus (the file manager for GNOME), and it handles it in a much better way.

I just noticed that I used the arrow key rather than clicking, but clicking has the same behavior as you see below.

I hate this too, it's a ridiculously bad UI flaw. I try to double click and it auto scrolls away from what I'm trying to click on. I'm assuming something of this magnitude will be fixed in a service pack but I'm not holding my hopes very high since they still didn't fix the flashing window (focus) bug from XP.

List View is nonsense, use Details as already suggested.
Or click and drag the bottom border of the window down - the list will automagically fit into the window.
Or hit the maximize button at the top right corner of the window; plenty of space for your files.

This is not a Windows 7 issue. List View behaves as it should.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Actually I think previous Windows versions did exactly the same thing.
The "problem" is that you click on a song a which the title is only partly visible. So when you click it Windows will adjust itself for you to be able to see the whole title.

If you really don't want this to happen just change from "list" to "details" (my personal standard way to view).
Life is to give and take. You take a vacation and you give to the poor.
