strange Finder bug

I have come across a strange bug in the Finder. Namely, when I delete a file in the Downloads folder (either by pressing Command-Delete, choosing "Move to Trash" in the File menu, etc., the file is moved to the Trash, but it is still displayed in the Finder's Download window, even after I empty the trash. I have to click on another window and then back on Downloads to make the file disappear! Also, this weird behavior (so far) is only happening when I delete files in the Downloads folder. Has anybody experienced this? Any ideas as to what may be going on (perhaps a strange permissions setting?)?

Something similar is happening to me. My 'Documents' folder, off of the user home folder, appears to have several files in the 'Documents' folder, but are actually in subfolders. When I open one of these files, that I know to be in a subfolder, the location of the file within the app (i.e. Preview showing a PDF), depicts the correct path to that file.


If I go out to Terminal and 'ls' on the 'Documents' folder, it lists the correct files and folders. This only appears when viewing the directory within Finder. I had hoped that public beta 2 would resolve this, but it has not.


So far, I have not noticed this behavior in any other folders.
