2) Go to FileChooser Demo. 
3) Tab to Folder List

EVALUATION Reproducible as described. Shift-clicking also selects multiple directories with GTK JFileChooser, but not with GEdit (though you can select multiple files in GEdit with the mouse or keyboard). ###@###.### 2003-09-30 Not critical for tiger, committing to dragonfly. ###@###.### 2003-10-30
