Description




Bring up any example the uses JFileChooser under the windows look and feel.
Press the new folder button.  Swing creates a new folder and adds it to the list 
of files in the chooser.
 However, native windows file choosers select the entry 
for the
 new file, hilight the entry, and make the entry editable so that
 the user 
can type in a name.  With JFileChooser, the user must
 search the list for the 
new entry and click on it.

Needs to be revisited -- it's not clear where this bug 
was fixed.
