A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JFileChooser can throw IndexOutOfBoundsException in the normal course of business, as files are selected and the current directory changes or files in the currently selected directory change. This seems to be a quite different stack trace from the other reported JFileChooser/IOOBE bugs. The example is rather contrived and only works when the file chooser is not visible (probably because of timing), but we occasionally get stack dumps from our users with the top three frames identical (or nearly so) and I have experienced it several times myself. Typically it seems to happen when the file chooser was just made visible (redisplayed), the current directory has just been rescanned, the files in that directory have changed, and the user clicks the choose button (open, save, or whatever), but I don't know how much of that is significant.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
create a C:\temp directory and populate with a small number of files (like five).
create a C:\temp2 directory and populate with a large number of files (like 1500).
run code

If that doesn't work, try changing the time delay.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expect no output.
ACTUAL -
There are numerous identical stack dumps.
