[Gvsig_english] QUESTION gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Java File Chooser Options

[Simon Cropper]

Fran,

I know about this bug.

What I can't understand is that if this is a problem for all gvSIG users
and everyone else that uses programs that use Java Swing, why is this
still a bug after so long?

Why are people so tolerant? If everyone registered a complaint with
Sun/Oracle, maybe the error would be fixed.


Cheers Simon
