Typing in Finder windows

This is a temporary work-around for the Finder not properly scrolling to the file when in List view in Finder windows.

If the file you are trying to select (and show) is below the visible range of the Finder window, simply type the first few letters of the filename (like OS 9), then hit RETURN or ENTER twice.

The Finder will scroll and display the file after temporarily putting the name in edit mode.
