Description

Name: iaR10016			Date: 05/04/2003


Filed By : J2SE-SQA [###@###.###
JDK      : JDK1.4.2-b21, JDK1.5.0-b05
           (not reproducible with JDK1.4.1)
Platform : Windows 98

User can not enter "C:\My Documents" directory using JFileChooser on Windows 98.
Please, compile and run the following test example and try to enter into "C:\My Documents"
to reproduce the bug:

--------- test.java ---------
import javax.swing.*;
public class test {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
     (new JFileChooser()).showOpenDialog(new JFrame());
  }
}
-----------------------------

JFileChooser shows "C:\My Document" directory as a file and does not allow user to enter there.

Please, note that JFileChooser works correctly with "Desctop\My Documents" folder which points
to the same place.

I am not able to reproduce the failure on another Windows systems.

EVALUATION This was caused by fix 4712307, which was integrated into 1.4.2b17. The problem doesn't happen when running with b16 or with the fix disabled using -Dswing.disableFileChooserSpeedFix. ###@###.### 2003-05-05 Probably caused further by fix to bug 4827865, which introduced test for variable isPersonal in Win32ShellFolder2.isDirectory. Now using equals(Win32ShellFolderManager2.getPersonal()) instead. ###@###.### 2003-05-07
