Run the SwingSet2 demo, select the JFileChooser demo. Click on any button.
Select a file using the mouse, now click in the JTextField to edit the name of
the file: the text in the JTextField disappears.

Probably while trying to fix bug 4271669, a change
(or rather: a regression) was introduced in the
behaviour of JFileChooser. When the user selects a
file from the file list and then clicks into the
file name text field, the contents of the JTextField
are cleared. This is a bad thing because:

a) it's different from 1.2.2 behaviour
b) it's totally non-standard
c) when saving files, it is common practice to select
   a file from the file list (for example, "my_document_file.txt")
   and then use the text field to edit a small aspect
   of the name (the example might become "my_document_file2.txt"
   or "my_document_file_backup.txt". Having to enter the
   entire name again will be unacceptable to most users.

The bug can be reproduced using SwingSet2 or the FileChooserDemo.
