The mysteries of the Vista's Explorer Status Bar | The Coffeehouse

Just refresh the folder with F5 or from the explorer menu and enjoy this brand new statusbar bug.

Where do you enable the status bar in the first place?

Edit: Nevermind, you have to enable the classic menu bar first.

That's a nice bug, it seems to add to the total everytime you hit F5 with files selected. It would be nice if the details pane actually gave you totals.

FYI, the word's spelled mysteries, not misteries. Smiley

That bugged me the whole time your last "misteries" thread was on the front page.

Haha. This is a fun bug. If you press F5 more then once it always adds the current file size to the one that's shown Big Smile You could end to have a file that's terabytes in size Smiley hehe

Oops you're right I fixed the title.

In the meanwhile also had the time to find another bug (I should start writing them down somewhere):

I'm happy to announce this beautiful and extremely lame bug is still present in all of its glory on Vista SP1 RC-preview...

I hope they'll fix it before 2012. I would hate to see wrong file sizes even after doomsday.

I have to ask. Did you submit these bugs through the facilities set up to accept such things? Or did you hope that this thread would magically make it into some test PM's mailbox?

Sorry to sound peeved, but waaay too many people around here seem to think that Microsoft developers have nothing better to do than sit around all day and read the latest rant.

If he bothered to apply for the beta testing, I think he would have the good sense to report it.

It's not like he's jamie Tongue Out

That was the running joke around here when Vista was in beta, jamie would post all these threads about Vista "bugs" and Sven would continue to ask him if he reported it using the appropriate avenues. Jamie wouldn't and the threads would continue. Perplexed

If Blackberrys are addictive cellphones, Channel9 is the ultimate addictive website.

Does this increase the overall HDD space used? if you've got a small HDD and then the PC thinks the HDD is full...

That could cause a big problem if the problem is continued (ie doubled in size, shut down, reboot, double size still there)

If you stumbled and fell down, it doesn't mean yet, that you're going in the wrong direction.

Remember one simple thing - MS never fixes bugs in Windows Explorer (except buffer-overflows). Don't think something has been changed. Wink
