User unfriendly Favorites behavior when Close unused folders in Favorites and History is checked

If I have opened a favorite folder down in the list, and I scroll up to a
favorite folder at the top and open a favorites folder, the darn favorites
scrolls ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FAVORITES LISTINGS!!!! I have to
hit Home to get back up. This does not occur if you do not check the subject
box.

What a piece of junk! How could this behavior have slipped by the
developers/testers?

Re: User unfriendly Favorites behavior when Close unused folders in Favorites and History is checked

Assuming WinXP:

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No
add-ons).

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b)
all toolbars and (c) all third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds) and don't reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist?
