[Bug 14729] New: winecfg: missing selection indication in open dialogue for existing directory

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14729

Summary: winecfg: missing selection indication in open dialogue
                    for existing directory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.2
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The application "winecfg" opens a dialogue "Choose directory" (Verzeichnis
auswählen) after the button "Search" (Durchsuchen) was pressed. I would
appreciate a marking for a specific entry in the tree control that matches the
value from the input field "Path" (Pfad).
Would you like to provide a direct selection indication in this user interface?

 excerpt from a screenshot

I wonder why an entry is not marked in the tree control despite of the validity
for the path that was entered before.
It seems that only the beginning of the directory listing is always displayed
instead of scrolling to the selected position.

It is an open issue for better GUI ergonomics.

I do not see a correction for this user interface issue in your software "Wine
1.3.29-4.1" on my openSUSE 11.4 system.

I think I misunderstood the bug. I think what you're saying is that if we have
a mapped drive, say D:\ => /mnt/cdrom, choosing D:\ then 'browse' should
automatically navigate to /mnt/cdrom?

Yes. - I expect such a behaviour for the directory tree view.

Does the corresponding selection (move of the focus to the chosen directory)
happen in your test environment after the button "Search" was pressed?

No, I was mistaken, my apologies.

Do you find my expectation for the directory selection reasonable and
acceptable?
