I hated that too, but they fixed it in Panther -- what a relief.

And here's something I love about Panther -- they brought back the 
command-up or down arrow for navigating in the both column view and 
list view, one of the few things I really missed about OS9.

They new open and save dialogs are a relief.  The new sidebar does a 
good job of replacing "Favorites" but I do miss "Recent" -- anybody 
have any tips for accessing recent folders in the sidebar?

My experience with Panther has been all good so far.  My 667 Ti feels 
much snappier and I rarely see the spinning beachball anymore.  I was a 
first-day adopter (clean install), but only because I have two 
computers and I can try out a new operating system on the TiBook while 
I get important work done on the G4 desktop.  Can't wait to get the 
time to do a proper Panther install on the desktop!
