FolderBrowserDialog behavior in Windows 7

Question

I'm using a FolderBrowserDialog in my application. If I try to create a 'New Folder' within the FolderBrowserDialog and immediately after I try to rename the 'New Folder' and hit OK (not Enter) the SelectedPath property has the 'New Folder' in it's path and not the name that I entered on rename.

Is this a Win7 bug?

Answer 1

This behavior isn't new to Windows 7 - it's been this way at least as early as Windows XP, possibly earlier (I don't have access to anything earlier to test).

Update: How to reproduce on XP

Using Firefox 3.06, Select Tools|Options to bring up the options dialog.

Select the Main tab, and within the Downloads section, select Save Files to, then press Browse to bring up the Folder selection dialog.

Select Desktop as your folder. Press New Folder, type any folder name, then press Enter.

Result: The folder name at the bottom of the dialog reads "New Folder", yet your actual selection has the name you gave.

Answer 2

Same on all Windows I think. It's always seemed a little crap, but there you go.
