May be related to Bug 10441.  This bug is only reproducable on Solaris 7.
Solaris 8 is consistant with Linux's correct behavior.

Comment 3 Grant Gayed CLA 2002-02-28 13:08:13 EST 
Since Solaris 7 is not a supported platform this will be looked at time-
permitting.  Keeping PR open in the meantime.
Comment 4 Sridhar Bidigalu CLA 2002-03-13 10:42:03 EST 
Same behavior noticed in the HP-UX 11.0

Eclipse stable build: 20020214
Motif: 2.1
CDE: 2.1.0
Java(TM) 2 RE, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.02-011206-02:17)

On the file dialog, if you choose files from filtering out
from a different directory, if fails to open the file since
the directory selection is not taken or incrrect.
Comment 5 Grant Gayed CLA 2002-03-14 10:33:57 EST 
If this happens on HP-UX too then this can be taken care of by the HP-UX owner, 
and will probably become fixed on Solaris 7 as a side effect.
Comment 6 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-03-14 15:58:31 EST 
Sridhar, please fix this. Co-ordinate with Kevin Cornell at Rational to get 
the fix in.
Comment 7 Kevin Cornell CLA 2002-03-15 10:35:28 EST 
The problem is that the XmFileSelectionBox widget on Solaris 7 has a default
XmNpathMode set to XmPATH_MODE_RELATIVE, whereas the default mode on Solaris 8 
is XmPATH_MODE_FULL. (I assume the default on Linux is also PATH_MODE_FULL).

I will apply a fix to DirectoryDialog.java and OS.java (new constants needed) 
after I verify the fix on HP-UX and Linux (next week some time).
Comment 8 Sridhar Bidigalu CLA 2002-03-28 10:37:24 EST 
Sorry guys, I should have posted a comment before assigning it to
Kevin Cornell. Kevin figured out  the problem and corrected it, 
so he requested me this morning to be assigned to him so that 
he can change the status. Sorry, for the reassignment without 
any comment.
Comment 9 Kevin Cornell CLA 2002-03-28 10:45:17 EST 
The fixes described in my previous comment (changes to motif/OS.java and 
motif/DirectoryDialog.java) have been applied. The previous look of the 
directory dialog box was different on Solaris 7 and HP-UX than it was on 
Solaris 8. The directory dialog boxes now all appear the same and the correct 
result is being returned on Solaris 7 and HP-UX.
Comment 10 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-03-28 10:59:18 EST 
np. I figured it out. ;-)
