Re: Bug In Class/Source Path Selection?

Yep, it looks like a JFC bug to me. I can't search the JavaSoft bugs
database as it is down for the night (seems like that happens often),
but I am certain it is a file selector bug. If you double-click a
directory entry, not only is that directory opened and the contents
displayed in the file selector, but the name of the directory also
appears in the "File Name" field. Thus, when you click Select, you are
in fact selecting a directory that doesn't exist.

There are two options:

1. Do nothing because it is a file selector bug and is out of my control
(or so I believe).

2. Check if the selection actually exists (and then what?).

I vote for 1. You obviously saw the problem and undoubtedly you
discovered how to fix it. Eventually the file selector won't make this
mistake (one can hope).
