FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Stock Windows 10

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When opening a java.awt.FileDialog right-clicking a file in the context menu and choosing "Delete" the FileDialog as well as the entire application freezes and becomes unusable. Please see test source code below.

If you right click and create a new file and then delete that file within the dialog, this does not happen.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
* compile and run the provided source in Windows 10
* click the "select file" button
* navigate to a directory with a file that can be deleted
* right click on this file
* Choose "Delete" from the context menu that appears
* The application will freeze and become completely unresponsive, only closable via Task Manager

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would expect one of the following:
* "Delete" is not an option in the drop-down
* "Delete" works as in other windows file selection dialogs, deleting the file and allowing the application to continue functioning as normal.
ACTUAL -
The application totally freezes.
