A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Let us browse directories using JFileChooser (setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY), setMultiSelectionEnabled(true)).
Initially no subdirectory in list of subdirectories is selected and method getSelectedFile() returns current directory.
Once we select any of subdirectories, it is difficult to return back to selection of the current directory.
  To do it we should go one level up and select the directory. It can be very annoying if the directory contains many subdirectories.

JUSTIFICATION :
Current behavior of JFileChooser is sometimes annoying.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I suggest to make the current directory selected by deselecting currently selected subdirectory either by clicking on selected subdirectory when pressing Ctrl key or by clicking on place outside of all subdirectories.

After pressing button "Up One Level" it would be convenient if previously browsed child directory would be focused (not selected) to make easier consequent browsing subdirectories of a directory.
