I hope i can explain this properly lol...

Im having an issue with the 'scale effect' graphics when you open a window after double-clicking a folder.

The graphics for this process seems to be very slow and jerky. When i double click a folder, the window opens as a 'tiny' finder window that scales to the full window. But this tiny window doesnt disappear straight away. It goes away after the finder window has finished opening.

You might think Its picky, but after it happens every time i open a window it starts to grate on my nerves. I had a perfect mac experience before my upgrade and now it just looks awful. More importantly it indicates that apple has screwed something with their rewrite of some software.

Anyone know of this issue? Is there a fix? Is there a way to report a bug?

Cheers.
