Good evening, I'm reporting (2) issues

1) Windows-10 FILE EXPLORER:

This issue occurs whenever a file is being dragged (to be copied) to another folder within the TREE at left side of screen. While the mouse cursor momentarily HOVERS over the intended folder, that folder will suddenly EXPAND to reveal every other FOLDER in its TREE.

And the EXPANSION occurs at the EXACT moment the file is being DROPPED

Result : The file gets inadvertently dropped into some other folder, because the FOLDER/tree is expanding at exactly the same moment you drop the file.

QUESTION : How does one DISABLE this AUTOMATIC expansion of the TREE when hovering over the intended file while dragging a file to it ?


NOTE: Please.. not to be confused with "automatic expansion of a WINDOW when that window is dragged to the edge", which is unrelated to the above. For anyone interested, this feature can be abled/disabled with "Snap windows - when I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space"

Thank you.

2) The 2nd issue is apparent immediately when the START menu is opened.

The user must hover over the SCROLL bar for a short time, before it becomes active and useable.

The "scroll bar" is initially 1mm wide, and the user must "HOVER" over the scroll bar for a couple seconds to "automatically" widen the Scroll Bar to 4mm. Then, the scroll bar becomes useable. It would be GREAT if the scroll bar was ALWAYS 4mm wide and ready to go. Thanks.
