Well, I tried this one, and I didn't even reach point 4!!
	I opened a Folder.
	Did a sort by size.
	Shortened the window, to get a scroll bar.
	Selected New Folder in the File menu, and ...

Nothing! I can still move the cursor, but the File menu remains highlighted
and the Mac doesn't respond on anything anymore.
When I restarted  my Mac+, I noticed that the specific Folder was still in 
'by Size' format, WITH an Empty Folder listed at the bottum, and the Folder
had it's original size, that is: no scroll bar showing.

I use Finder 5.2, System 3.1.1.
