Another Refresh problem with Vista
Wednesday, April 18, 2007
I had previously posted a number of screen grabs showing the problem with windows Vista's File Open Dialog Box. Today I found two related problems with windows explorer.
(1) Here you see a jpeg file, note the size in the status bar

(2) Select the file and refresh the explorer window. (you wont' see the bug if you don't select the file)

(3) Now note the size in the status bar. You'd see every time the window is refreshed the file size in the status bar doubles.

After a little bit of experimentation I found that the status bar does not auto-update the file properties.
For example if I edit the file in mspaint

I still see the old file size listed in the status bar. No don't click F5 or Refresh as it would double the size.

After finding all these bugsI feel that Vista still has some small issues that needs to be looked at.
