Using JFileChooser in details view under Metal or Windows L&F, the border representing the lead index is not showing. It is therefore not possible to navigate for discontiguous selection.

EVALUATION
The root of the problem is the manner in which the new FilePane class tries to restrict selection rendering to just the file name column for the Windows L&F. Currently the logic is overcomplicated and incorrect.
To fix this, I'll do the following:
a) Reduce the logic in the custom renderer. It will use the superclass' behavior, but simply clear the selected flag if the table doesn't have focus or if it isn't dealing with the file name column.
b) In BasicTableUI, for tables that are "fileLists", disable all traversal actions that would move the lead left or right. And in FilePane, clear the actions for TAB, SHIFT-TAB, and ENTER so that they do what is right for FileChooser and not what is right for JTable.
c) With a few lines, ensure that the list view and table view only show the selection if they are focused.
