I'm not sure why I'm suddenly having this problem since I haven't changed any of my finder preferences. Say I drag an image from the browser to a folder on my desktop, it opens up a finder window for that folder immediately. I know if you hover over a folder for a few seconds the finder window for that folder would pop up but now it just does that as soon as I drop something into the folder, no hovering over it. The delay is set to medium with spring loaded folders checked as usual but I don't understand what's changing its behavior. Hope that makes sense, thank you in advance for the assistance.

  • I am having the same issue. When dragging images from webpage to desktop it pops up in the finder box. Same settings as above. Checked for Mac updates, nothing....

  • Well, I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one. Everything was fine and then I don't know what changed out of nowhere over the past few days.

This issue seems to correspond to the most recent update for Chrome. No fixes yet, but you may want to track the following discussion on the Chrome forum:

Edit: Seems like there is a fix now: Uploading to Chrome Version 31.0.1650.8 beta makes this annoying behavior go away. You can upgrade to the beta version here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/beta.html

Same here. Firefox works fine for me, though. Try that maybe?

  • ugh, you sound like me doing tech support for Fog Creek: "we don't support Safari, try chrome" But I wanna use Chrome, not Firefox! ;)

  • Yeah haha, it seems to be a Chrome issue, but I also prefer using Chrome as well.
