Ever since I became aware of it yesterday, I started paying more 
attention while I was working. Sometimes the open dialog allows 
scrolling leftward, and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't yet figured out 
what causes it to change its behavior, but it is pretty clear that it is 
an OS X decision and not a Rev thing. I have started to notice similar 
behavior in other apps too, now that I'm watching it.

I still cannot reproduce the second issue. I have never seen either MC 
or Rev open to a non-existent folder replacement. It doesn't even make 
sense that it would try. However, if it really did happen (and I have no 
reason to doubt Shari's experience) then it also has to be an OS 
behavior, since the engine simply passes the dialog request to the OS 
along with a default folder string.
