The generic windows application highlights only upto the length of the
high-lighted item in the combobox control (next to the label "Look in:" in the
top-level toolbar of a FileChooser). This includes item being displayed as well as items in the dropdown portion. But in JFileChooser implementation, the entire line is getting high-lighted.
