This is a very BiDi specific defect. It happens on all Windows platforms. Please use BiDi characters instead of capital Latin letters in the examples below. 1. Start Eclipse on Windows platform with -nl iw command line option 2. Create directory on File system c:\ABC\DEF\ 3. Select File->New Project 4. Select geneal project and press Next 5. Uncheck "Use default location" check box 6. Press Browse button and select the directory you created at step 2 using opened dialog 7. Notice how the directory is displayed Result1: c:\CBA\FED 8. Delete the value in Location entry field 9. Type manually the same path you created at step 2 Actual result: c:\FED\CBA Expected result: The result should be identical to Result1, namely c:\CBA\FED More information: ------------------- It seems that TextProcessor invoked when Eclipse is ran with -nl option is used only when path is defined via Browse dialog and is not used when the path is typed by end user.
In 3.3 we will not be processing the input any differently than the OS does.
We should process the result from the browse button if the OS is returning the correct value
I have tested this with the 3.3 release and we are showing the directory selected by the browse correctly (see ProjectContentsLocationArea#updateLocationField). We will not be processing the users typed input as we always honour thier input mode settings.
