FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Microsoft Office Document Imaging and Foxit PDF Creator are installed so that there are "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" and "Foxit PDF Printer" in Printers and Faxes window.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
java.awt.print.PrinterJob.print() is used to take printing task.

In print dialog, if you select "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" or "Foxit PDF Printer" as printer name and press OK button, then "Save as" dialog window(if you print to Microsoft Office Document Image Writer) or "Print to PDF Document - Foxit PDF Printer" dialog window(if you print to Foxit PDF Printer) is shown to select file path and fill file name. After you press the Save button, print task is done. At this time, the current working directory is changed to the path selected in the dialog.

The impact is: after print job is done, java.io.File operation with relative path will cracked because the current working directory has been changed.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Compile the test case source code in D:\test
        Expected result:
               a. there are two .class files in D:\test : HelloWorldPrinter.class and HelloWorldPrinter$1.class.
2. Open Command Prompt window and change dir to D:\test.
3. Run the HelloWorldPrinter program by command: java HelloWorldPrinter
        Expected result:
               a. the Hello World Printer window launched.
4. Press Print Hello World button
        Expected result:
               a. Print dialog launched.
5. Select "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" or "Foxit PDF Printer" as printer name and press OK button(if there is none of these printers in the combobox, install at least one of them).
        Expected result:
               a. "Save as" dialog window(if you print to Microsoft Office Document Image Writer) or "Print to PDF Document - Foxit PDF Printer" dialog window(if you print to Foxit PDF Printer) launched.
                b. in Command Prompt window, the user.dir and contents of path: new java.io.File(".") are listed.
6. Select file path(D:/newdir) and fill file name and press Save button.
        Expected result:
               a. printed file is shown.
               b. in Command Prompt window, the user.dir and contents of path: new java.io.File(".") are listed.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
1. In step 5, contents of path: new java.io.File(".") should be contents of path: D:\temp.
2. In step 6, contents of path: new java.io.File(".") should be contents of path: D:\temp too.
ACTUAL -
1. In step 5, contents of path: new java.io.File(".") are contents of path: D:\temp.
2. In step 6, contents of path: new java.io.File(".") are contents of path: D:\newdir.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
