Statusbar Bug in Windows Vista Explorer



Following are the step-by-step instructions to recreate the new statusbar bug which I found in Windows Vista Explorer:

1. Open My Computer and enable "Statusbar" by pressing <ALT> key and then select "View -> Statusbar" from Menubar.

2. Now open a folder which should contain at least one file.

3. Select a file and see its size in statusbar.

4. Now refresh the folder by pressing <F5> key and select the same file again and see its size in the Statusbar. You'll be surprised after seeing its size. Statusbar will show incorrect size, actually the size will be doubled. Again Refresh and check the size in statusbar. It'll be again doubled. and so on......

So if you select a file and see its size in statusbar, suppose it is 1 MB, then after refreshing the folder and again selecting the file will show its size as 2 MB in statusbar and so on..... If you select a different file after refreshing the folder, then it'll add the new file size in previous file size and will show the sum in status bar. Weird bug, isnt it?
