Navigating Down to Folder By Typing First Letter or Two

[stevemh]

You'd asked for more info, so reopening this ticket:

It seems to be taking too long, so it won't move to the folder. Here is the output from the system.log:

Hi,

I am a registered, paid user, under my name.

It seems like I used to be able to type a letter or two and move down the list of folders. For example, in my current list of 475+ folders, I want to move down and highlight the folder "swiffer" so I type in sw. The swiffer folder should be highlighted so I can just double click and go into the folder.

Please let me know if the above is not clear and on any questions.

Thanks for an excellent program! Steve

Type ahead selection should just work fine. I cannot replicate any issue. Can you find any related output in the system.log (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app)?

Thanks for the additional information. I have reopened #4170 which was reported previously.
