the current selection proxy only works if I right-arrow in it in the first pane and find there the actual stuff I have selected. I don't know if the proxy oject even is to be used directly. The way I move stuff is by hitting Cmd+Esc with a Finder selection or by invoking QS and hitting Cmd+G (same effect as typing current selection to get the proxy and hitting the right arrow key to get the actual selected items). I also have "Pull selection from front app instead of Finder" ticked in the Extras prefs. This behaviours is on both SL and Leopard. I always thought that the proxy objects where more for utilizing them in triggers.
