Description Michael Nazarov 2007-10-31 16:33:40 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200710301200)
Java: 1.6.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0-b105
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb)

Actually appeared few builds earlier.

Well, most of directory choosers start in "My Documents" and no longer
contain left side buttons for fast navigation to say "My Computer".
So if one need to choose something outside of "My Documents" he need 
to press small and so evident button "Up one level". Yes there are
some more ways like "Entering part of path into name field" but this
is not serious for completely GUI application.

This issue is highly visible and bit annoying so P2. Anyway feel free
to decrease but I can't imagine appropriate evaluation.

See screenshot also, sad picture.

Well, I expected such report sooner or later...
I'm sorry but unfortunately we had to disable right side navigation buttons due to performance bug in JDK. More details in
