Unfortunately there has been no correction with this issue, as Totem
still drags files incorrectly from its filelist.  Try it yourself:

1) start totem
2) ctrl+o OR click the add button, to open up a file list; note that this file 
list in Totem is the problem I have
3) make sure you go to a large folder with subfolders; as my videos folder is 
arranged that way.  
4) Drag a file from Totem's filelist, and watch how it drags the wrong file in 
proportion to reverse alphabetical order.  

e.g. I'll drag a file starting with A, and it'll drag a file starting
with X or Y depending on the size of my Videos directory.

e.g. To further support my hypothesis, I dragged a file that's located
somewhere close to the middle, and the error in offset dragging occurs
somewhere in the middle as well.  For me, a file located somewhere close
to the middle was a video by "Mad Season"... what do you know it drags
"Lamb of God", proportionately off by reverse alphabetical order as L is
slightly above M, and videos whose filenames start with M are located
somewhere directly in the middle of my videos folder.  (It's important
to emphasize yet again, this is a folder that contains subfolders; as I
have found that this behavior doesn't occur in a folder without
subfolders).

It looks absolutely bizarre.

Anyway, I have since stopped using the drag method from Totem's
filelist.  From Nautilus, I can drag the correct files 100% of the time
into Totem's playlist.  Either I do that, or I use the *add button in
Totem to add files, which as I said in earlier posts will input the
correct file to playlist.

With regard to trying out Hardy Heron's implementation of Totem, I will
wait until its official release date as it is just around the corner.  I
will post my results accordingly.  My bet is that it will still be
there, but I'm hopeful that it will be resolved.
