And why should it?  Isn't it quite possible to scroll the window to the
place where you want to stick the file and THEN drag it?  So auto-scrolling
only works when you can't use the scroll bars yourself (moving a file in
its own folder).  How is this a "glitch"?

P.S.:  I'm really started to get peeved at all the posts saying "BUG! BUG!!
BUG!!!" when they've not thought about it, not tried it on other Macs,
not tried it without extensions, don't consider that the program was listed
in the compatibility checker as needing an update, or haven't purchased the
manuals.
