When I try to move, by drag-and-drop, files from the list pane into another folder, in the tree pane, and when in that tree pane there are entries with long names, that tree pane scrolls away, horizontally, so as to make it impossible to see the target folder name then if that name is quite short.
I know the content of this pane comes back into view when I move the mouse straight to the left border of the screen, but I have to do this any 3 or 4 such moves, before being able to drop the file.
I suppose there is an option "full row select", but that would not help, since then I would not only drop the file into that folder, but also change the view to that folder, which is not what I want.
The relevant parts of folder names are at the beginning of these names, so I do not see any advantage to the current behavior of XYplorer. Would it be possible to prevent this horizontal scrolling on drag-and-drop? At least by option?

Re: Tree pane content fading away on drag-and-drop
Even in "Tools-Customize Tree", I did not see any option to prevent the tree from horizontal scrolling, wich only occurs when you drag-and-drop, and the horizontal scroll bar being visible, of course.
Which gives me the idea that if a direct solution is not possible, would it not be possible to implement a toggle "for tree, show horizontal scroll bar if necessary" and "for tree, never show horizontal scroll bar"? This way, the beginnings of the lines there would always stay visible, and drag-and-drop could easily drop items on them, and without changing to that respective folder, if the folder name is not too long, so as to not leave any white space after the folder name.
This simple "do never show horizontal tree scroll bar" option should be easy to realize, I think?

Uhm, sorry, I seem to have overlooked this. Is it still a problem?
