Thanks @matt2,
I’m glad we’ve narrowed it down to the Finder extension. I am still unable to reproduce this behavior, so it must be specific to the environment and its interaction with the odrive extension.
Is there any difference when disabling all other Finder extensions and leaving only odrive enabled? I want to confirm its not some sort of conflicting extension behavior.
Do you experience this when clicking on any folder in Finder, or is it specific to only clicking on folders listed in the left-hand navigation pane, for example?
In the MacOS Activity Monitor, you will see one or more “odrive Finder Extension” processes.
- When you observe this behavior in Finder, do you see a spike in CPU on any of the listed processes?
- What is the idle CPU for these processes? Normal, idle behavior is between 0% and 0.5% CPU. This will vary a bit depending on the specs of the system.
- What is the idle CPU for the odrive process? Normal idle behavior is between 0% and 2%. This will vary a bit depending on the specs of the system.
- How many “odrive Finder Extension” processes are listed?
Do you have any other software installed that may be performing background operations or interacting with Finder that could play a part in this?
