Description Pat McCarthy CLA 2002-04-14 20:29:43 EDT 
I'm told the problem I see visible in the Update Manager UI is actually the 
behavior that exists in the org.eclipse.swt.widgets.DirectoryDialog class.

The DirectoryDialog is used to support the creation of a new target folder for 
an install. When you create a new folder (using the pb) as part of the identify 
the target dialog, you can create a new folder (named NewFolder), but when you 
type over the name to give it a decent name - the selection value never reacts 
to the modification.

You have to click out of the new folder and then back to get the selection 
correct.

The is a problem in Windows.  Once the DirectoryDialog is up, we have no 
control over how it interacts with the user.

Here is the Eclipse bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13761

It is marked WONTFIX by Eclipse claiming that it is a Windows issue.
