I've confirmed that it doesn't happen with my own windows build. Most likely it is a problem with the supporting libraries that have been fixed. I'll tell MaX to upgrade and close the bug for now.

Yes it is fully reproducible with any file selection dialog, any file/key on by XP box.

A more detailed flow of events:

  • Press Open
  • Press any letter on the keyboard
  • The first file beginning with that letter is selected.
  • A text-box appears in the bottom right covering the drop down control for file type (reads "Supported files" by default). It contains the lettered just pressed and a blinking cursor.
  • The app freezes for a few seconds. Additional pressed key do not appear in the text-box. Mouse and keyboard are non-responsive.
  • The text-box disappears. App regains consciousness.

I cannot reproduce this in linux, so it is probably not our bug. It could be a problem with a particular file though. Is it fully reproducible with different letters/files/directories?

While in any file selection dialog in the GUI, a keypress causes the selection of the first file that begins with that letter, but also to a 5 second freeze up.
