There's a stupid little bug in the Finder that's been there since Day
One.  I ran into it again this weekend and I thought I'd post it here,
where it might be seen by Apple.

Say you have a folder that contains several dozen folders.  Do a
Select All and then double-click on one.  (This always happens to me
by accident... I mean to drag them to another folder, but my finger
slips and the click becomes a double-click.)  The first dozen or so
folders open, then you get a dialog that tells you "No more windows
can be opened.  [OK]".  Fine, I press OK.  Then another dialog: "No
more windows can be opened.  [OK]".  I press OK.  Then again.  And
again.  The dialog comes up once for every window that couldn't be
displayed.  Depending on how many folders you just tried to open and
how many windows were open before that, this could go on for a Long
Time.

Aargh!

The Finder is smart enough to put this dialog up only once when you
open too many Get Info boxes, but it's not that smart when it comes to
open folders.  Apple, please fix!
