Hey guys,

I have a strange problem with a folder opening after i perform a few right clicks... about 4 right clicks. It doesnt matter what im doing. The current finder window is replaced with the same folder each time.

All the icons and finder seems to be resetting itself. All icons disappear and even the menu bar goes away and then it all restores back quickly with the same window open each time.

I have been able to reproduce it by relaunching Finder using 'opt+apple+esc' and then choosing relaunch finder. The same folder window opens.

Does anyone know what the heck is going on here?? lol. And even more importantly.. is there a way to fix it?

cheers.
rob.

Finder is crashing. Do you have any custom contextual menu items (like maybe from Stuffit)?

Ahhh yes. I have just googled "Stuffit crashing finder" and there is indeed an issue.

Looks like i gotta uninstall it and wait for an update
