File Explorer's Navigation Panel jumps around every time I drag and drop a file from the right side to the left side. This is very annoying, for example if I want to drag files from several different folders into the same Navigation Panel folder. Is there a way to "pin" the Navigation Panel file tree?

I hope I'm explaining this problem clearly. If not please fire away with questions.

This Navigation Panel behavior is a big time waster for me, and a real source of dissatisfaction. Microsoft, if you are listening, please fix this issue as part of theK2 project.
