Hey Gregg Hall, if you hover right on the file name, you'll get the "hand" icon of your mouse, that will open files and folders with a single click.
But if your mouse is not on the file/folder name, but just really really close to it (doesn't matter if it's above, under, left, right), you'll get the arrow and you'll need to double-click.
Can you try and let me know what you find?
