I installed KDE 4.8 RC2.  I previously had 4.7.4.  I've hit some

icons jump around.  I've only used the new version for an hour or so,
but I'm already on the brink of shooting myself in the head.  I value my
head, so for now I stopped using Dolphin and do my work in Midnight
Commander in a terminal.

I've searched all the Dolphin settings, but I can't find a way to
disable the jumping icons.  I really hope there's some way to disable
them?

By "jumping around" do you mean the list constantly refreshes itself?

No. I mean that Dolphin now doesn't simply move icons around, but 

animates them. Apparently it thinks I want to play Super Mario Bros :-/

For example, if you resize Dolphin's window, obviously icons need to 

move around to accommodate the new window dimensions.  In 4.7.4, the 

icons would snap to their new positions. Now, they animate there. They 

actually really move and jump around to their new location. Yes, it 

really looks like Super Mario jumping around. And it's incredibly annoying.
