Fixed.

That's happening in the Mac OS X Finder Navigation code (out of my control). It might be a Lion issue. What happens if you click in the "Parameters.txt" entry? Does changing it to "Parameters1.txt" help?

I notice that the text file contains three "bogus" characters at the very beginning of the file which causes a problem with the first entry (appears as "???" on your screenshot). I suspect this might be a Unicode BOM (?) text encoding signifier or something. I'll look into ignoring such things if I find them.
