MacOS – Finder bug – wrong drop zone highlight

bugfindermacos

Sometimes I experience strange behaviour within the Finder. When I drag files to another Finder window the highlighted drop zones are incorrect and if I attempt to edit a file name the location of the edit-textfield is wrong as well.

enter image description here

The highlight zone seems to be connected to the Finder windows previous location. I noticed other users had this problem (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6663266?start=0&tstart=0) but no answer was ever supplied.

Has anybody experienced similar issues and found a (preferably permanent) solution to this problem?

Reboot the computer works in a limited time but several days later the bug comes back.
