  What really irritates me is Windows Explorer in this regard. For example,
if I select a directory from the folder view on the left, and the directory
contents then open on the right, if I try to scroll the file listing, it
just scrolls the folder view on the left. And the other way around. In this
case there isn't even any "title bar" to click in order to select the
proper scrollable view. You have to click *on* the view, and be careful
to not to click on something you don't want to.
