Say it isn't so! For many years now (as far as I know; I'm not an owner, but fully intended to buy a Macbook once Leopard arrived), you could drag a folder icon to the right-hand-side of the Dock, and then, with Control held down, could cascade though its subfolders without clicking. Gorgeous! Now - based on my visit to the local Apple store on Friday night - that action brings out the new Fan. Is there no way to invoke the old behavior? Sacre bleu!
 
blah my biggest complaint when it comes to removed features is that when I cmd+tab to flip through applications I have to hold the shift key to get it to wrap around, the arrow keys don't do it anymore.

with running 2 versions of the OS it will be hard to train myself NOT to use the arrows anymore.
 
Yeah, they removed the original folder navigation feature. I personally don't miss it.

The arrow keys are working for me, btw.
 
they work, but they are not wrapping around anymore: when i am on the app on the far left and want the app on the far right I used to be able to push the left arrow key and it would wrap around. it don't do that no more.

Oh! Interesting, I didn't notice that.

Can you not just hold down the command key and repeatedly click the tab key to advance to the next application and wrap around that way?
 
Yes. They removed the arrowkey-wraparound because it didn't "make sense". Think of it this way: Press Right-Arrowkey to jump to the far left. ... The UI-nazis at Apple had their way. ;)
