It's not a bug; it's an enhancement request.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a test folder
2. Inside, create more test folders, until there are many more than your screen can display at once.
3. Set this to list view
4. Scroll to the top of the list
5. Ctrl+drag a file from another window to copy it.
6. Drop the file into one of the folders at the bottom of the list.

You can do this by moving the mouse within within a few pixels of the bottom edge of the window, which makes it automatically scroll, but it's jumpy and very sloooow. It can take a long time to get it to scroll all the way to the bottom.

What should happen is that it should smoothly start scrolling slowly when you get into the bottom 1/4th of the window, and increase in speed as you go lower, and decrease in speed as you go back up, like those applets that you see on some websites that scroll automatically as you move the mouse around, and let you select things by moving the mouse back into the middle of the bar.
