Description
Resizing behavior is unlike Windows native file dialog.
When you resize the windows file chooser in list view the files are rearranged  while you are resizing, this is unlike Java implementation. In Java the rearragement is done once the resizing is complete.

Steps to reproduce:
--------------------
1) Open SwingSet2 demo. Change the laf to Windows.
2) Go to FileChooser Demo. 
3) Resize the Dialog. Notice that rearrangement is donewhen you stop the resizing. 
4) Now open wordpad and open file dialog box and repeat the above step and notice the difference.
