FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_10-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP with SP2
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When running a JFileChooser and using the Windows XP L&F, it becomes non-obvious which control is selected after tabbing through a few of the controls.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Modify the FileChooserDemo.java example to use system L&F on Windows XP.
Launch the modified FileChooserDemo.
Click on "Save a File"
Tab 5 times.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The up arrow w/ folder should show selection, but it doesn't.
ACTUAL -
There is no indication that the up icon is selected, however pressing the space bar does do the proper action.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
