Description Sandeep T D S

2017-06-29 07:00:48 EDT

My Directory Dialog code: 

		Display.getDefault().syncExec(() -> {
			Shell shell = new Shell(Display.getDefault(), SWT.NO_TRIM | SWT.PRIMARY_MODAL);
			shell.setSize(0, 0);
			shell.open();

			DirectoryDialog directoryDialog = new DirectoryDialog(shell, SWT.SHEET);
			directoryDialog.setFilterPath(myPath);
			directoryDialog.setMessage("My Message");
			directoryDialog.setText("My Title"));
			shell.forceActive();
			shell.setActive();
			shell.setImage(Icons.IMAGE_APP_LOGO);

			if (SysInfo.isWin()) {
				shell.setMinimized(true);
				shell.setMinimized(false);
			}
			favoriteParentFolder = directoryDialog.open();
			shell.dispose();
		});


My Issue is: 

Lets myPath = "C:\\Username\\Desktop\\Z Folder"

I have "A Folder", "B Folder", ... inside Desktop. 

The Directory Dialog View, doesn't show Z Folder as my selection. I am required to scroll down to see.

Issue also reproducible on Win7.

Seem like a known issue with Windows native 'SHBrowseForFolder' layer:

There is a possible workaround discussed in the above article.

Is this a problem with the new Directory Dialog?

Attached Screen shot is of old directory dialog.
With snippet is comment 0, I don't see the problem with new Directory Dialog(support added via bug 443250)
