FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, interpreted mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0 Service Pack 6a

ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
Windows 2000

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using a JFileChooser, the dialog no longer behaves the
same as the native OS for switches in file type or filename
filter.

The filename field is cleared or blanked out when a new
filter/file-type is selected.

This could cause considerable confusion for a user who does
this file type checking last.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create any JFileChooser with multiple filename filters.
2. Launch the app, and type text in the filename field.
3. Select a different filename filter.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The filename is cleared, but it should not be.

If the user changes the filter from say .doc to .txt, then
the name should not be erased. This allows the user to
change their mind after typing the name of the file, and
since the filter (file-type) drop-down box is at the bottom
of the dialog, it will probably be the last thing the user
checks.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
