The original reporter complained about the Edit control behaviour (file name box ):
I then fired up NotePad, and verified that ctrl+a in the main window selects all written text as expected. However, in the "Open file" dialog, after clicking in the file name box (to make it active) ctrl+a does nothing.
So his ctrl-A key press is working. Good to know that that is not the problem then.
And no, this is not the edit control but the file-view. The edit control is described as "the text-box where the filename is placed", in comment #4. Once you see the behavior in an application that allows multiple selections, the intended meaning of the bug reporter is absolutely clear.
Now read the part that you snipped. And comments #3, #4 and #12. The bug reporter states and repeats that this is a problem with the file dialog in Newsleecher that behaves different in Windows XP as in wine. I verified some other apps showing that this bug is quite common.
