Finder jumping to currently selected item When I am browsing a long list of items, and have one of the items selected (whether above or below the current viewing area/viewport), quite often it jumps up or down to show the currently selected item - which is super annoying. I have unchecked Spring Loaded files and folder in preferences but with no avail. Is there any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Thank you!
Simply press "esc" to de-select an entry and you'll be able to scroll to your heart's content without the annoyance of jumping back to a selection.
