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 :-/

Can't wait to see that - and turn it off probably :-D

You can see a few YouTube videos of it.  Notice how in those videos, the 

uploader always opens folders containing image files to show this new 

behavior, because it makes Dolphin look like an image viewer.  There's a 

slight problem with this though; Dolphin is not an image viewer.

The Dolphin devs might have meant it well, but they shouldn't have done 

this.  It just looks unprofessional and a bit silly.
